Nice one! Did you check Cuds on coins to see which one it would turn into?

It looks like a die crack at this point. I see no shift of the area next to the rim. It maybe moveing toward a Cud in the future, but at this point I just see a crack going on in this area.

Just like Coop I see a rim to rim die crack but no indication it is a Cud yet.

I thought that's what the Retained Cud meant, my mistake. So a Retained Cud is only when the chunk is shifted/raised/lowered? Then I agree, just a die crack for now : )

You can see the pattern affected on a Retained Cud. Sometimes a jog in the rim:

Coop's top image there helps to answer a question I've had for a while about Retained Cuds in Modern coinage with less-complex rim areas than Classics. On a Morgan, I know where a crack should reach on the rim before I consider a Cud, but less so with Moderns because it's tough to tell where the collar begins to be involved. Peace dollars suffered a lot of pre-cud cracks very similar to this Kennedy. Some eventually developed into Cuds.

That last image or one similar I've seen is what had me thinking it was a Retained Cud but now I really see the difference where the design is misaligned. Thanks : )

Appreciate it Mike, the information you write about error coins is very helpful. I've been curious with one thing about Cuds: Has anyone ever found a Cud with a retained (or not retained) die piece? That is, the piece of the die that broke off, formed the Cud AND got stuck inside the coin with the strike. I'd think that would be a pretty unique error that significantly increases the value of a coin. Do you think this is possible?

Wow! Now that is cool..  I need to find a place where I can pick up coin bags. That's where all the odd shaped coins are.

Ken, you echo a point I've made in several of my articles. But the additional evidence you've accumulated is quite helpful.
