Steve, You know that die has been sitting on my desk for about two years now waiting for me to find a good excuse to photograph it. I found a nice Rim Cud Sunday on Oklahoma 5c Tax Token. Also has three die cracks. The dealer gave it to me for free! Price was right!  Edited by koinpro

Coop, Here is a 1 oz Silver Round struck Off Center from my dies with wide rims. The rim does not show on the Off Center Strike.   Here is a Double Strike from the same dies. Notice how wide the rims are on the normal first strike. But the rims do not show on the Off Center second strike.   Here's my reverse die with the rim machined into it.  Here is a United States 1968-S Partially Defaced cent die. It has a rim.  Breaks in the collar create Collar Cuds.  Edited by koinpro

Cuds or rim Cuds are not a common find. Congrats!

If you would like, I can list it in cuds-on-coins.com using your images. All I need is your permission to do so and your name for credit on this find.

Coop, The images of the dies you show are of "circulation finish" with the smaller diameter die bodies used for business strikes. Proof dies have larger bodies to withstand the riggers of the heavy tonnage used to strike proof coins. The entire process of polishing business strike dies at Denver (which is where the image you show is from) can be seen near the bottom of this page: http://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06/...roduce-coinsI've owned both proof and business strike US dies with some detail. I may still have some BS dies with detail. Can't remember as I haven't looked in a long time. Edited by koinpro

I'll have to re-check my source to see if this is from another mint. All the image I found from there were from the San Frisco mint. (proof coins) Maybe I missed some thing.

The dies you show are from Denver. There is one page is dedicated to just that. Easily confused as I think everything else on that site in regard to die production is San Francisco and West Point.

Ken - I might be opening a can of worms if I start listing errors on tax tokens. However, let me think about it. Also noted on that tax token is a bisecting die crack which is interesting and also a prospect for a file number!

BJ, I was just kidding but if you want to list it free free. I thought it was a neat little token and it was free!
