Can anyone help with details, resources for this Lincoln Cent Error? The crack is completely across the Reverse of the coin, and shows up as a shadow on the Obverse. I am also looking for help in clarifying DDR or Mechanical Doubling (See close-up photo of die crack and CENTS)    |

Thank you for your time and consideration! The long line is incuse, but there are Cuds along the way that are surface ridges and the small line is a surface ridge, not into the metal. I am assuming this is a spender. |

The Cuds term, you are using wrong. But the metal you are calling Cuds is distortion metal. Like snow, when you more it, it make a pile taller somewhere else. Same with coin damage. But with a knife will move metal:  These are flakes of metal. A Cud is when a edge of the die breaks away off the die.  A coin like this will show what happens when a portion breaks off a die.  Small chips and flaky metal is not a Cud. A Cud is the end of the dies life. |

Looks like a gouge from a razor type implement creating a raised furrow of metal on each side - have seen this many times on CCF.
EDIT: Forgot, Shininess in the pics are from the zinc core shining through.
