Will need better pictures, but it looks like a die chip. Cuds always involve the rim. |

Probably a chip, definitely not a Cud, which is a rim issue. |

To me, Die chips are 'die events or failures' not an error.

Exactly.
If you insist on calling them *anything* they are a variety, not an error, because every coin struck with that chipped die has it.

Was checking the terms in the glossary here. Do we have a new book in the making? Thanks, Doug.

To me a die chip or Cud is a die stage, which makes it a "MINT ERROR." The die didn't look that (i.e. having a chip or Cud) before it started striking the very first coin. I would call it a form of die error. The die started having problems when striking planchets began. Thus, things like Cuds, die chip, die cracks, shattered dies, clashed dies, etc. are Mint errors, not die varieties or varieties. (Now a die could have been faulty but not visible to someone before striking, for example if it wasn't properly annealed or there were unseen impurities in the steel.) |

It is an error because it wasn't supposed to be this way, and it wasn't anything man made. The die starts to get damaged, then progress's until the die is either replaced or breaks. |
