Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 3:45 pm The 1802 dime has a huge Retained Cud, with lettering. Same as mine. If it were a "a table or chair leg stop", the obverse would be very damaged. It isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 5:00 pm That is not what a Cud looks like. Your coin has a clear deep valley just before your "cud." If you disagree, can you take photos of the coin at a 45 degree or greater angle? It is difficult to see relief. Suffering from bust half fever.

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 5:08 pm I refer to the 6th post above this one-the Large Cent reverse. It's the "same thing". Pay attention to the CA "under" the retained (that's important) cud-as it should be. My coin has a Retained Cud, not a full Cud. They are very different animals Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 10/25/2023 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 7:53 pm The Cohen book does not have any Cuds listed for any of the reverse dies in 1809. Until more photos are posted, there is nothing else to debate. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 7:58 pm The Cohen book is like an anachronism (better to look for die states as published by Ron Manley); and yes it is totally Unknown in this die state Report this Post to the Staff
Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/26/2023 12:49 pm This should help... you can see that the broken die travels under the U of UNITED. The left stand is not severed due to damage. This is a Retained Cud: the piece of the die had broken but not yet broken-off. It was still attached to the die at RI and UN, but had separated and sunken appreciably between. Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 10/26/2023 2:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 10/26/2023 3:56 pm Take photos at a greater angle, primarily displaying the bend and angle of the item in question. Take an angular photo of the obverse as well. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
