A
die cud involves the edge of the die breaking off.

This was the case of a
Cud on each side of the coin.

note how the
Die Cuds on these coins are progressive?
A
die chip is part of the design breaks off.


A
die crack is a crack in the die that looks raised. They are irregular and most of the time not straight, just jagged like a line.



All three;
die crack, chip, cud are raised because the die is affected. The die is a negative making a positive coin. So if something is incuse on the die, it will be raised on the coin.
