looks like a die crack - some would call it a 'spike head'.

 I also agree that it's a crack. I know it's not what we think a " Spike Head " should be coming off the top of the "Head". But a Spike Head has a crack from the rim to any part of the bust. It says a Cud involves the rim and at least a little bit of the field. Do you think this meets one of those descriptions or both? |

Rob, I don't know if this would be considered a "die break", which is the rest of the description of a Cud, not a "die crack". I have seen JC list some before that surprised me though. LINK http://cuds-on-coins.com/cuds/-makecents-

Die crack. A Cud starts at the rim and goes back to the rim. At least that's how I understand it. There is a start and an end. You would think a spike head would just involve the head. But COC lists anything that involves the portrait. Edited by Cujohn

CuJohn, the question in my mind, is when does a crack become a break. Look at the listing (CU-1c-2009-01). This is the only reason I would not totaly rule it out. I personally think the listing I just gave you to check out and Rob's, are both cracks though, but I'm not the professional, just an armchair coin enthusiast at best.  I think the height of the break, in relation to the rim may come into play too, in deciding if it's a Cud. LINK http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-2000-2008/-makecents-

This it is a Die Crack as we name. Could be also an mark on the Die from a strike trough? Could be. Cud is not, this always it is versus left or right, because follow the metallic structures. |

Makecents, ya that one is confusing. There are some very small Cuds, but that's the first one that only has 1 connection to the rim. At least I can only see one. It looks like the surface has two heights, but I don't know how that is posable without having another end out to the rim. It's like the die bent instead of breaking.  |

. Yep. That's why the question(s). I reckon I'll send pictures to our friend JC. |

what? I personally think that CoC is going a bit too far. Congrats to you Rob on your listing - but  |
