mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 07:06 am I read the glossary definition of Cud and you are correct. I'm using an iPad and still haven't figured out how to cut and paste. Basically, It states a Cud is larger die break covering a surface area.

enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 08:00 am Such an error on an australian coin would be called a Cud by any collector here. Its interesting there is the differences in terminology between countries. Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 10:24 am In my first post on this thread I said that a Cud involves the rim. Then I read the glossary on this forum and this was the definition of a Cud (I had erased part of my original post after reading the glossary): Cud An area of a coin struck by a die that has a complete break across part of its surface. A Cud may be either a Retained Cud, where the faulty piece of the die is still in place, or a full Cud, where the piece of the die has fallen away. Retained Cuds usually have dentil detail IF on the edge, while full Cuds do not. Not to be argumentative or split hairs but it did not say it involves the rim exclusively. Maybe I can get clarification. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
