A 1914 Chihuahua 5 centavos with a multitude of die cracks and a Retained Cud. I have 5 examples of this progression, from few to this monster.

I've seen that coin and people asking about the die cracking for alot of times. Is that yours? If so there seemes to be quite a few of those struck with that cracked die (or you posted it alot) and the clash. I wonder if it was purposelesy struck with that cracked die. I sure seem to remember that on that other coin forum down the road a few years ago - if not you then someone else that had the same example - making me think this is a exhibition example and not the real deal!

The shattered die on the civil war token is mine. I have posted it in another thread. These are pretty common. Someone posted another example in this same thread.

It's an authentic Civil War era store card/token. Here's a page from a Whitman book that shows the shattered obverse (O-2):

I looked at my collection, and realized I have three examples of the Civil War Broas Brothers token struck from the shattered die in two different states. I scanned them just now rather than wait to set up my camera:

Here is a photo I took years ago of the earlier state of the shattered-die reverse of the Broas Brothers Civil War store card/token shown at the bottom of my scan of three above:

OH NO - are we even able to have Civil War coins in our collections without some group protesting?
I will assume this was intended to bring some levity to the thread, but I need to say this before it goes off topic...

Please do not discuss volatile current events in the numismatic forums!

Carry on.

1867 Shield nickels struck from a shattered die in early and late states, with Cuds forming over time. Note the small Cud near the middle of the shield:
