I think illustrations of the die faces (one pair in working order and the other broken), paired with matching images of the coin's obverse and reverse (one coin is okay, the other is showing a Cud and weakness of the other side), would be excellent in visualising how Cuds happen. Something like:
Normal, repeat for Cud condition:
Obv die
Obv coin
Rev coin
Rev die

Thank you for the suggestion Altaria! Sure, I'll post a real picture of a Cud I found CRH. Although, I don't have a picture of a broken die though.

Thank you very much Mark for providing a picture of what a broken die looks like! I appreciate it! I think that this is going to be transformed into an awesome and very educational thread for great information for viewers, if we can keep this thread going!

For the die, you can also take a line drawing of a coin, mirror it, and black out some parts to represent the Cud areas.

Altaria, thank you for your suggestion! I should do that tomorrow later in the morning. Maybe I can add to my original drawing possibly? I'll update this thread tomorrow with an additional drawing of the reverse side.

You can! There's still a lot of blank space around that drawing of yours. I suggest including actual pictures of coins, so it's easily visible what a Cud means (also easier to show that reverse weakness). Just had another idea: the other die could be shaded in a different colour to signify an area that is unpaired now that the other die is broken, to match where the weakness is.

while the effort is appreciated, I am sorry but I see no benefit to this at all.

, I am sorry , it looks like a third grader's drawing and homework. There are ample detailed articles by experts readily available.

Thank you Altaria, Chase, and Jim! Your feedback is appreciated! As it goes, my drawing skills aren't very good (I have never been great at drawing unfortunately). I think it's pretty funny how I'm 19 years old, but I draw like a 6 year old! Oh well, I love this hobby a lot, so it was an attempt to draw something useful hopefully.

To make this thread more useful, I'm going to add screenshot images, taken off of cuds-on-coins.com with my Chromebook.

Line drawings should be straightforward, just pull up any random picture and trace the outlines. A little cheating when it comes to drawing, but easy.
