armywife111701 Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 3:44 pm Im still learning, is this a die break or a Cud? Or how do you classify it? Is it worth saving? It has the big one on the front, and also there is a small " Cud"? on the back by the wheat stock. Thanks for the help. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 3:53 pm Yes that looks like the very start of a die crack too. These tend to form at areas of higher stress, such as at sharp corners on the design. Nice find!

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 10/01/2022 6:23 pm Reverse Die cracks (wheat and the E). Observe it is aging cooper exfoliation (remember that was bronze alloy, we say fish bronze exfoliation). Numismatics will be say: LAM.
