SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 5:38 pm A Retained Cud would still show the details - the broken piece of die is still there, but loose - is the reverse the hammer die for IHC's? I don't know if a hammer die could retain a Cud. However, I'd also expect weakness of detail in the corresponding area of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 6:01 pm VGish details and I agree, you'd see weakness on reverse opposite of Cud. Looks more like lamination. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 07:51 am the reverse was the hammer die until the bronze issues of 1864, when it switched to the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 11:10 am Yeah, the more I look at the edges, on the rim, the more I think lamination. It's a fascinating one, though, and a very appealing coin as a result. Report this Post to the Staff
