I don't think "strike mates" is an official numismatic term. Nice! From the same die.  ! Where/how did you acquire them? |

Because it touches the rim does it make it a Retained Cud? Just curious. |

Good question @cc. My novice opinion is that these are both die chips as they clearly are emanating from the inner part of the die. One has progressed to the rim, but I'm still thinking die chip rather than Cud. I'm interested to hear what those who are more knowledgeable think about this subject.

@Spence - Great point - I didn't think of it from that stand point.

Would it qualify as a RIDB? John1  |

It would be nice to get @coop to weigh in. My thinking is still that if the chip on the die starts on the edge then it is a Cud, but if it starts somewhere on the interior and progresses to the rim, then it is still a chip rather than a Cud. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I contacted JC at CudsOnCoins to get his professional opinion.
We'll see if he has time to check it out.
