Die cracks are not Retained Cuds. On your coin's die for the obverse there may have been one later on in it's die life. But so far it is a die crack. A Cud involves the rim. You coin doesn't show that. Nice reverse clash though. The 1983's suffered a lot of clashes that year. |

Very common for that year and I would keep it only for the pre-cud die break on the obverse. I don't see the Cud on the reverse?The clash isn't heavy enough to keep,IMHO. John1  |

John1, Have you seen many with clashed letters? As for the Retained Cuds I thought that if the crack goes from rim to rim it was a Retained Cud. The obverse goes from a very thin crack at the rim up through Lincoln's jacket and back into the rim as a thicker die break. I was thinking the reverse cracks wear Retained Cud but now I realize they do not conjoin with eachother but the one crack going along the I to the rim is fairly strong and I think it would be considered a break. Thanks for the help guys. Edited by 7TF

I guess these must be pretty common other than the die breaks. Here is one that sold on ebay for $2 with the clashed Y. http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Coin-198...047675.l2557 I thought this coin was the coolest thing in the world when I found it. This is the first clashed letter I have found on a penny, but, I have not been looking at them very long. Clashed letters on Morgan dollars are a pretty big deal so I figured it would be the same for other coins. |

A rim-to-rim crack alone does not make a Cud. A Retained Cud will have a shift between the two broken pieces of die before the broken portion ultimately falls away. |

John1, Have you seen many with clashed letters Yes.Most show the Y.The nicer ones show the T Y and the really nice ones show the R T Y.Also I only keep clashed revers's that show above and below the building or if the clash is really bold in the bays. John1 |

The pictures are not needed anymore anyway. I got all the answers to my questions already. I really appreciate the help.

If you ever find any of the RTY, TY or Y letter transfers and don't want to keep them please let me know. I would be interested in them and would pay small premiums for nice condition examples.

Thanks John, Can you find a link showing what an RTY clash looks like? I am really interested in clashed dies with letter transfer. I don't know what year to search but I did not find any for 1983 on the clash website.

How many boxes of pennies do you think it will take me to find one of these? Probably a lot. I have looked at around 1.3 million cent and have found only a few since I started roll searching in 1971.Good luck with your hunting. John1 |
