When it comes to Cuds call me a purist from the U.S.A.I am also a purist with the term die break and Monikas coin is not a die break.

Same here.
I've been taught that;

Its a die chip if the devices around the chip still show details
Its a Cud if it comes in contact or is very close to the rim of the coin.
Its a die break if a portion of the break assumes a line. The die break can have areas that appear to be die chips, but are not.
Its a die crack if the crack itself shows a decent amount of separation through most of the line.

Call this coin as you see it, but in the end, its a Whopper

= )


Like they say, old habits die hard, and these are stuck in me brain, so there's no changing it now.

So why does it really even matter what I called it? I showed you another website that explains in full detail what a die chip, crack, break and Cud are. They can all be lumped into one category when the chip gets big (The Die Breaks). I will say that 90% of people will call them die chips or breaks and would not call it a Cud so I might be in the wrong there but if you don't believe the die was broken or that it is a "Die Break" than you are just nitpicking my wording.
