1958 Lincoln Wheat Cent Cud Or Die Crack?

What about die chips on more recent LCMs? Like in the '90s and 2000+...just wondering if those are rarer and may hold a better premium for error collectors?

This is called a Retained Cud. You can see in the upper part at the field the broken part of the die is beginning to move away from the main part of the die. As you said, a few more strikes and this will become a Cud. Nice example. Thanks Coop.

Hi,

Die chips are minor and very common on all Lincoln cents.

The pictures being shown with retained broken dies have value. Die chips are so common as to have no value unless a huge piece of the design is missing.

Cuds involve the rim of a coin. Once in awhile you might find a coin with a nice , very large die chip not involving the rim and that would have value. In that case you would have what looks like a big blob of raised metal in the middle of the coin.

Most times if you find a coin so described, someone melted copper or silver solder onto the coin. So a coin like what I described would have to be seen by someone who can tell what it really is.

Die chips that are miniscule like this one, or ones that cause a digit or letter to be filled are interesting but don't have any additional value.

Thanks,
Bill
