The ones showing LIBERTY indeed look like BIE's, which are die chips between the letters of LIBERTY. The one showing damage around the LI and RTY may be something different, we'd need better pics to determine. I'm not sure what we're looking at in the other photos. Would be best to show the whole coin face at once since it's impossible to determine which BIE or whatever we're looking at when there is no date/mint showing along with the die error.
You can see many BIEs listed at Cuds on Coins website along with a lot more explanation of the different types, etc. You might also be able to find your specific types. See that info here:
