Quote:Hi Coop,
The die is failing and deterioration is the cause of the missing parts of the die. Theoretically it could be a
Cud because extra metal has filled in the missing die parts, but that would be opening a can of worms. It would take a lot of speculation on what to call and not to call a
Cud under these conditions.
It is best to stay with the definition that a
Cud is caused by a die break and not by
Die Deterioration. Of course you can look at a die break as a form of premature
Die Deterioration (LOL).
Have a good New Year.

at this point. I thought it was a borderline coin, but just not that close yet to the border. I wanted to hear it from him first.
