1994 LMC Interior Cud?

Maybe some gray areas here, but this is what I'm taking -
Details required for Retained
Rim required for Cud
Crack required for Break Edit: Crack is a good sign of break

Here is an image of a cracked die and also a Cud:

Cud:

No, Profiler, I never discount Cwb, he is very knowledgeable, but he said himself that it was a "Shady area". There are many differences of opinion, even among the pros - there just comes a time when a person has to formulate his own beliefs.
You are definitely right about errors being trickier than varieties. I'm a work in progress concerning both.

On the first die I posted, the shows that a crack is on the die that extends to the bottom of the die. On a Cud the area that cracks on the die has broken off the die. Here is a die that has the split die in two pieces:

But when part of the die crack starts crumbling off the die, then we note a chip on the coins struck with it.
Here is what an interior break is: (From Mike Diamonds web site)

Maybe this will help explain how a Cud forms and what a die chip is.

The below image is of a 1oz Silver Round with a so-called "Pre-Cud" die break or what I prefer to call a rim-to-rim die break. It's pointed out by the arrows.



Below is the die from which the above silver round was struck but after the chuck of die "outside" the rim-to-rim die crack broke away.



Below is a bronze medal struck from the same die after the Cud formed & a look at the face of the die.



Here is a 1929-D Standing Liberty quarter with a Die Break. In my opinion the term "Die Break" alone is sufficient to describe what it is but others feel compelled to call these "Interior Die Breaks" or the erroneous term "Interior Cud".



The term "Die Chip" simply describes a small die break; maximum size often subjective and/or depending on who is viewing the coin.

The below "BIE" on this 1955-S is commonly described as a "die break" between the B and E of LIBERTY but it actually qualifies as being a "die chip." In effect, calling it a die break is correct but calling it a die chip is being more specific.

I don't mind hewing to the definitions at Mike Diamond's site - they support themselves nicely internally and it all makes logical sense.

Good luck getting the whole hobby to follow suit. Numismatists aren't exactly monolithic - we've just spent three pages arguing semantics.

Wow, finally my questions have been answered, this has been one of the most educational threads that I have been a part of on CCF. CoinMasters, thank you for starting this thread, and a big thank you to all who have replied.
