Not seeing a Cud on this coin, I do see a die crack with a chip above column 9 on the memorial. Is this the feature you are referring to? |

For a die break to be considered a Cud, it needs to affect the rim of the coin, which this one doesn't. Nice find though! What is that between columns 1 & 2? Edited by cwb

That's the feature. You think it's just a chip?

Yes, I remember that post SheltieGuy, I'm the one that told you about the northeast part. This one might be a crack with a gouge, I'm not sure it's big enough.

Cwb, What is an Interior Cud? |

Cuds to my understanding affect the rim, I am not sure how to distinguish between a die chip and an interior die break. I had asked this question in a post before but never really got an answer. Is the difference just in the size of the affected area? How do we differentiate between chip and break?

Difference between a chip and gouge is a gouge is at least 4 sq mm.

Thanks everyone, I now believe this to be a retained interior die break.

Since there are no signs of details showing in the area in question, and it is obviously raised, it is not a retained interior die break. It is a die chip.

cwb, that's a good distinction. Noted.
I thought it was similar in shape and location to part of the RIDB-1c-1982-01R on this page: [url]http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-retained-interior-die-break/[url]
What's the difference, please? Thanks in advance.

You can see the details of the design inside of the break on RIDB-1c-1982-01R. On this coin, the area is raised and you cannot see the details so the piece of die must be missing. If it is missing, it is not retained.
