What's on the left ear of the wheat? Is that a Cud?

Die chip. A crack that will eventually reach the rim in two places. Then after many more coins will fall off and become a Cud. Cuds affect the rim area of the coins after part of that area falls off the die. Common on some years when they over used the dies past retirement.

Looks like another sheaf of wheat/maybe an overstrike not sure of the correct terminology. Very interesting I would keep it!
