This is a beautiful portrait of Roosevelt right after getting his wisdom teeth removed

Very nice! I have a question. It doesn't appear that the split die is joined in the center. Is this not a prerequisite of a split die? I understand the crack is wide enough to be considered a split die but I see UDC 1c 1917S-01R not listed as a RRDC because it doesn't join in the center but is obviously a related directional bisecting event like this coin.

That's a very nice example! Super neat to see errors like this every once in a while.

The split in the die exceeds the depth that the Planchet can display. The head of roosevelt is actually sunken in on the die and cannot be raised any further than shown,bc it is the lowest point. Here is a nickel showing the same thing.  |

Maybe I need a Coop illustration to help me but I'm still unclear. On the nickel, it seems the split die is showing on the bust fine, until the center area. Wouldn't that area be the same depth on the die?

Wouldn't that area be the same depth on the die? That area is directly opposite Monticello, so there's not as much striking pressure since there's more space to be filled by metal. The crack still runs across the whole coin, but it just can't be filled without sufficient pressure. Thanks for the explanation, KTC! |

Thanks Numisma, I can understand that explanation.

It's impossible to determine whether this die displays a split die or two radial, antipodal die cracks that pinch out without meeting in the center. They become lost in a centrally located die subsidence (sunken die) error.

I was, of course, referring to the dime, not the nickel.

I'm not the gatekeeper for Cuds on Coins, so I can't answer that. Error coin writer and researcher.

I had to look at the one I have to see if it was a earlier die state example before the die split but then I found that mine is a 1985P with the same size Cud in the same location. No split die of course. Congrats on a nice find! |
