Some may call then
Cuds, but are they really? The description on a
Die Cud is that outside edge of the die breaking off of the die. But are these die chips filling this order? If the outside edge of the die breaking away? I consider a
Cud when the gutter breaks away with part of the die.
What a Gutter?
If it the lower area of the die that between the die, collar and gutter, forms the rim. Note the red arrow. Note that that is the outside edge of the die. So when that area breaks off the die (the gutter) it forms a rim
Cud.
Note on the simulation on the lower left edge of the die simulation. When that breaks off of a coin, the die now has a void. This void will be filled on the coins and rise as high as the breakaway area, or as high as the metal will allow on the rim void area:
When the rim and die is affected, then it is a
Cud coin:

Also note the weakness on the opposite side of the coin? There is no pressing of the design on that area, because of the void on the opposite side of the die. (A sure sign of a
Cud) On die chips we don't see this weakness on the opposite of the coin, because the gutter, is still present, just the chips so far on this area of the design on the die. So to me they don't fit my term to be a
Die Cud. (outside edge of the die is not missing, just a chip on that area of the die) That why I don't consider them as a
Die Cud.
CoopHome:
Are die chips Cuds on a die? no. they only affect the face of the die, not the outside edge of the die that is missing. rim
