I believe those may be die chips. The '52S is a very impressive one.

I'm no pillar of the community but they appear to me to be what is commonly referred to as a Cud! |

I have ran across several in the last several years and most recently find them on 2017 dimes and the second O in the word Monticello on the newer type nickels.

Ppincher1, they are not called Cuds. They are called Die Chips. A Cud (Major Die Break) is much different, as it only involves the rim and some parts of the fields. http://goccf.com/t/331880Errers and Varietys.

Probably now called a die break. But these dies were run until the die, died.

It depends. As long as it's 4 square millimeters or more, then it can be called a Interior Die Break.

Sometimes they get looking pretty tall on the coins:  The bigger void on a die, the higher the chip/break can grow, until it runs out of metal and then it levels off.  |
