cuds on Canadian coins  

 

That's a real nice double cud! Thanks for adding that one.

Hi Phil310, Nice coin but in this state would this not be referred to as a retained broken die?
I was under the impression if a die with a retained break was to continue in use it would or could become displaced and then create a cud.
I’m certainly not challenging your judgement on this as I know very little on the subject I only ask to get a clearer understanding of this for myself.

Cheers, Bill

Thanks for the clarification of terms on this one Houndog and SPP. I'm still trying to figure out the correct way to describe these.

I was basing my call on the definition on the "cuds on coins" website of a "retained cud" as a coin with a die crack from rim to rim with vertical or lateral displacement. But "retained broken die" sounds a lot more accurate.

Thanks!

Would this one I posted earlier in this thread also be considered a retained broken die? I would assume so as long as there is still some coin design to show the broken part is retained.
