yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:35 pm I'm still going through my Wheat cents pulling anything out of the ordinary. I am hoping to label anything that turns out to be errors or varieties using your expertise. I noticed the Abe got a crack on his head but what really caught my eye is what is going on with both the wheats on back. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:41 pm Looks to me like an obv lamination and rev die cracks. The right wheat stalk may instead be a lamination though--it seems quite wide at the rim to just be a die crack.

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:52 pm Yeah, I dunno on this one. When I think of a Retained Cud, I envision both ends of the crack touching the rim. Both of these seem to only connect at one place on the rim. I agree that whatever it is, the two coins look pretty similar.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/01/2018 8:54 pm I was just about to suggest it was a later die state, although not necessarily the exact same die. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

Retained Die Cud. It is beyond a break at this point. Note the design is now moved? When this happens on the outside edge of the die, it is then a retained Die Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
