The seller referred to this as a chipped die. Looks like a Cud to me but please feel free to correct my terminology. It will be a while until I have the coin in hand and can look at it more closely. I'm going to post in a separate thread a similar shaped 5c " Cud" with some denticles still showing where the seller had referred to it as a broken die.
@John1 - I too would have expected/preferred that the denticles wouldn't be there for a "real" Cud. My hypothesis is that a thin flake of the die came off rather than the die crack going deep into the die. So I'd agree with the seller that this is a chip in the die, but on the coin I'd still call it a Cud (for now).
