If there is a rim to rim die crack without that displacement, does it have a name ID (other than "Rim to Rim Die Crack" Report this Post to the Staff

Otherwise it's just a die crack. And for me to call a die crack with displacement a Retained Cud it has to have vertical displacement. Horizontal displacement isn't good enough. The piece could still be attached to the body of the die. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 7:25 pm By necessity, all die cracks show displacement. If you have simply lateral spread (a form of displacement), then you either have a rim-to-rim die crack if it's thin) or a split die (if it's thick). Error coin writer and researcher.
