Just making sure this isn't plain damage..I saw similar on Cuds on coins - but not exactly.

Retained internal Die Break on the obverse. On the reverse that is I'd call a die break They get pretty tall sometimes.

This.

Fun pick-up @abs. Sometimes, we call these "cracked skulls", although "toupee abe" has a certain ring to it.

Classic '55 P with signature cracked skull. Even has the die crack/break on the (reverse) T. I have a few dozen of these. Very nice.
