robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 12/18/2014 7:36 pm I was just thinking that I hadn't found one of these in about 100 boxes. Does this qualify as a split die? (Obverse is normal) Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 07:52 am Under the scope at the right angle I see a single contiguous crack. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 1:06 pm The intersecting line area I feel are where the two die cracks met. The die crack on the left side goes beyond the intersection. Note how the area is wider there? So I feel the die had two die cracks and then before your coin was struck another event made the two connect. I would save this one. There might be some interest in it yet. If there is a Cud later on that developed, then you have a piece of the mystery? I don't see a listing on cud-on-coins.com for this die yet. But maybe the die was retired before this happened, or maybe this one may not have been found yet. http://cuds-on-coins.com/jefferson-...l-cuds-1983/ Edited by coop 12/19/2014 1:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 3:56 pm Coop, ahh, I do see what you are talking about now. The crack on the right bisects the crack on the left, which actually extends to the steps. I had already checked cudsoncoins and did't see anything like this one yet. I'll put it in a 2X2 and hold on to it for awhile - thanks for the input here. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 10:02 pm If a coin has a die crack, a die clash or die trails, do these conditions add to the value of the coin, particularly MS coins. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/20/2014 02:59 am Depending on strength or what the coin might link a Cud to. But the premium would be minimal. The stronger, the better. If you had a coin when the die had split or was a Cud, you would be interested in seeing how it all started. Report this Post to the Staff
