coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 1:28 pm I see no Cud on this coin. A Cud affects the outer edge of the coins design. Looks like a die chip on the left planter if that is what you are looking at. A Cud would be like this: Die chips are just die events. They don't retire a die. A Die Cud is an end of life for the dies. So while many chips will come along, it is not sever enough to retire a die. There can be hundreds of thousands of die chips struck with a die with that issue. But Die Cuds are a limited number. (End of the dies life) Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 6:58 pm Richard, thank you for the refresher on Cuds. Cuds-on-coins.com lists a variety of die events that include pre-cuds, Cuds, significant die chips, breaks, cracks, spike heads, etc.... similar to one on the reverse of my 1972 D. My 1972D didn't make the cut. Cuds-on-coins.com is a great resource for identifying many die events such as: Cuds on U.S. Coins (CU) Cuds On World Coins (CU) Pre Cuds on U.S. Coins (PC/RCD) Pre Cuds On World Coins (PC/RCD) Interior Die Breaks and Die Chips On US coins (IDB/DC) Interior Die Breaks and Die Chips On World Coins (IDB/DC) Retained Interior Die Breaks On US & World Coins (RIDB) Shattered Dies on U.S. Coins (SHD) Shattered Dies On World Coins (SHD) Split Dies on U.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 7:16 pm that looks like a very nice (big) die crack going up column 2, from the bottom of the monument to the top - and a smaller one going up column 1. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
