Yep, it takes a few pics for verification, but it's there alright. A chip too. Nice find.  |

For sure 2x2 worthy. So is it a pre-cud then? John1  |

Thanks everyone. I was wondering if it had a name as well. This is from Error-ref. what do you think? http://www.error-ref.com/?s=rim+to+rim+die+crack"A curved rim-to-rim die crack is sometimes called a "pre-cud die crack" even though there's no guarantee that it will progress to a Cud (marginal die break)" |

Where are you guys seeing this connecting to the rim? I see the crack petering out before the last A in AMERICA. The diagonal mark there looks like a scratch to me. Looking closely at the third picture, you can see that mark extend to the A in AMERICA. It's a fantastic die crack, but I would not call it a Retained Cud. |

Not a Retained Cud but possibly a "pre-cud die crack". I am trying to get some better pics of the area where the A is. |

Quote:"The course of a rim-to-rim die crack can be straight, irregular, or curved. A curved rim to rim die crack is sometimes called a pre- Cud die crack." Yours is an irregular rim to rim die crack. Not a curved or pre-cud. |

Retained Cud has nothing to do with CC's coin. The last pic shows it reaches the rim. The second from the last pic shows it reaches the rim at the other end.

Thanks, coincents! The new pics really show what I thought I saw in your first batch. I see a crack starting at the bottom right of the shield and curving upwards towards the end of AMERICA, but I see the straighter line that hits the last A of AMERICA as a hit since the raised lettering shows a hit.
@CoinMasters, The last picture has nothing to do with the would be rim to rim die crack. It is a separate die crack and die chip on the O of ONE. The longer die crack starts at the bottom right of the shield and curves upward and to the right. It does not reach the ONE.
Honestly, with all the cracks, I'd be happy to call it a shattered die. But I still don't see rim to rim.

Thanks CM & Thanks Druu - as I said I wish I had better vision so I could just use my eye loupe. I should be able to confirm either way since I have the coin right in front of me  But with as cracked up as it is - I am happy with the find. I really appreciate all the input  |

Good eye Druu the straight one does look incused in the last set of pics. The first set of pics seem to suggest the die crack branches on the T. Now look closely at the third from the last pic in the last set of pics. The die crack actually continues past the straight line and through the A. I wonder how far it goes. Whatever it is, it cracks me up.
