It's funny how all my stupid questions keep getting really intelligent answers. Thanks, DrDon, I appreciate it. And, if it's okay, I'll just keep making you all look smart.

I think I might add this to my signature: The only stupid question is the one you keep to yourself and never ask.
Keep asking and someday you will be helping another new comer by answering his/her "stupid" question.

Why would the blob not be called a die break or Cud? I am still learning and would like to know how to tell the difference on a Lincoln Cent. I know on a Morgan dollar the blob would be called a die break. Thanks for the help. Kris |

I like the clashing and severe die polish on the obverse and reverse. You can also see some of the memorial building left behind on the obverse that the mint worker could not totally polish away. I don't see any letter transfer but it looks double, triple or maybe quadruple clashed inside the memorial building on the reverse.

Interesting point, 7TF, why is this just a die crack and not a die break with Retained Cud (on the "N" in United)? I guess I don't understand the difference either. Also, thanks for pointing out the clashing. |

That is not a Cud. That is a die chip. A Cud is when part of the outside devices break off the die on the rim area. This is just an interior chip/crack. Later in it's die life it may become a Cud, but it isn't one yet. |

Sudz, I love clashed coins. If I see clashing I will always point it out. Is the coin really clashed several times? You might have a late die state of this variety http://www.maddieclashes.com/ADC-1c-1983-02.html or a new clashed variety. It might not be listable though. I don't know what criteria they use to list new varieties. Edited by 7TF
