beachnut Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 12:38 pm I understand a die break. I guess I'm also wondering how the area is textured as well. Thanks. Sorry, laid up with pneumonia so lots of time to read and think when I'm not sleeping. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 1:50 pm So it I have it correct, then it looks like the next step was that the first die break folded over with a small flap from the die and several coins were struck. Then the adjoining side of the towards the center die the same thing. Creating two flaps over each other. But neither let loose from the die. As more coins are struck making the break get larger, covering over the devices on the edge of the die. So the die doesn't develop an actual Cud, because the edge doesn't split off. So basically it is a double flattened die break. It would be nice to find other coins with die events I theorize to see it if happened that way. Thanks for the explanation. Maybe we figured this out? Westernsky: I think your example was struck after Bats coin. Edited by coop 11/18/2019 3:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 5:04 pm The mark on the back is the impression area due to there being a die break on the obverse opposite it. Occurs on a lot of Cuds for the same reason. Report this Post to the Staff
