That is a nice Cud! Very cool find. Looks like it didn't have a good strike though. |

Thank you. Neat to find! Every so often, an old blind hog finds an acorn!  This was in a bag of coins from a bank counting machine I bought just today! Edited by Pete2226

Actually, now that I look at it again...the entire area within the crack appears to be above the field.

Good one Pete. Congrats. Edit: The area on one side of the crack is a different level than ths other side right? If not, and in the absence of horizontal displacement it is not a Retained Cud. Jmo Edited by CoinMasters

I would agree that it is a Retained Cud, with vertical displacement. If you will contact me at cuds-on-coins.com and let me know if you want to list it on that site. BJ Neff |

I consider these rim-to-rim die cracks. There is no major displacement to suggest there is a portion of the die broken away and just retained in place by gravity. You can even have what appears major displacement vertically and horizontally and still not be a Retained Cud by the strictest definition that suggests the piece of die in question must be separated from the main body of the die. Below is a die I own that has a major rim-to-rim die crack that shows both horizontal and vertical misalignment but is fully attached to the main body of the die. In this case it can only be called a rim-to-rim or what some call a pre-cud die crack. The same is true of over 99% of the coins now called Retained Cuds.     Edited by koinpro

 100% with Ken. The area on the legend above "U & N" remain perfectly symetrical above & below the crack, leading one to believe it is just that. |
