Ilikeabecoins Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 6:59 pm Hi all I have had this for a while and was wondering about the die break(s) @ 3 o'clock on the reverse. Do you think that it/they could be the precursor(s) of the larger Cuds that are found in the same location? On a side note, which pic is better? A...above photo without editing...or B...above photo brightened? (The following photos are all unedited.) Thanks for taking the time to look. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 7:06 pm THERE IT IS! My CRUD! See I told all you doubters, THEY do exist! Cracks, Cuds AND CRUDS! It...is....aaa-liiivvveeee! Unedited 100%, too washed out, actually need more contrast less midtones. And you get too much shadow with one light source, use a diffuser or at least 3-point to overlap the shadows. But you color is real good, wouldn't mess with that, I did a bit of color cast correction but couldn't get the red out(lower left residual shadow.) Try a darker gray background, or paper.

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 1:18 pm Real answer: Yes, they could be precursors to a larger Cud. The only way to know for certain is if you could match up die markers from a known Cud with markers on your coin, if they exist. It's possible this die continued to break and cause a Cud, or it may have stayed like this until the die was retired. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 2:28 pm That's a Die Crack and a Die Chip, not a Cud. Although, it could have turned into a Cud in later die states. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/27/2018 3:17 pm Probably won't until a die jerks towards the rim. A chip is just a small breakaway from next to a device. A die crack can work deeper into the die. When it continues to open, the deeper it gets, the more the die is breaking apart. When two die cracks meet, or the same die crack makes an arc, then you have a chance for a Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
