Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 8:05 pm I'd call it a die crack and a die chip. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 8:20 pm I call it nice enough to save in a 2x2. Nice find @1199.

I'm with John1 and Coinfrog on it being a die chip and a crack. The 'chip' does not involve the rim edge. it just goes up to the rim. Collecting since 1972.

VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 9:08 pm It appears to go through the rim in the second pic. Does that make it a small Cud? It also appears to have a cracked skull. Edited by VestigeWolf 07/21/2021 9:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21661 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 9:08 pm The only reason I called it a Die Break instead of a Die Chip is because of the size. It is hard to tell from a blown up photo but it looked more than 4 square mm. If it is smaller, then it is indeed a Die Chip. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98469 Posts	Posted 07/21/2021 10:09 pm I think this link will explain it far better than I could on what a Cud is and looks like. https://cuds-on-coins.com/cuds/ Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5802 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 08:17 am Size wise it might only be a die chip but it is raised above and overlaps the rim a little. IMHO, if it gets larger it will be considered a Cud. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 09:43 am If a piece of the edge of the die is broken away leaving a void, then it is taller than the rim. This one looks like a small Die Cud as it is taller than the rim. Die cracks are not tall enough to be taller than the rim. A die break can be taller, and if located on the rim where part of the die broke off, it would be a Cud. But a large die chip/break on the grains on a Wheat cent would not be a Die Cud. It would have to be on the outside edge of the die to be a Cud. Small Cud: Large Cud: Edited by coop 07/22/2021 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
