spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 01:44 am The "die scratch" is a die crack and may be an early stage of a Retained Cud and maybe a Cud eventually (depending on how long it took for the die to be replaced). It doesn't seem to extend to the rim on the upper side here. Under the jaw looks like a die chip or gouge.

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 9:43 pm That small piece near the throat is on other KGVI years too, but you don't see it as often as other worn/damaged-die errors. I think it's probably a form of deteriorated die error, reminiscent of those found on the late '70's/early '80's. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
