tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/05/2020 12:19 pm There is more here than you think. First, yes, what you are asking about are common die chips. However, this coin actually has a Retained Cud on the reverse along the lower right wheat stem. It is RCD-1C-1955S-05R. But wait, there's more! All these things, plus the weird curved die crack on the bust, are die markers for RPM-002 in a late die stage. So yes it has a Retained Cud and also is an RPM. With die chips.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2020 12:30 pm Big difference between the two. A die chip is an interior device that breaks away from the fields or from a device or design. A Cud is when the dies edge breaks off the coin.: Die chips are a common die event. A Cud is a terminal die event, leading to retirement as soon as it is noticed. Note how the obverse broke off the die and when it went to strike this coin, there was a void? But also note, the reverse is affected. Because that part of the obverse die was missing, there was nothing to press against to strike up the reverse side of the die. That is how you can tell it is a legit Die Cud. Cuds have a premium (the bigger the more valuable). Chips are spenders. Here are bunch if them: Report this Post to the Staff
