Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 10/03/2024 07:28 am Interesting development with the closeup. Yes, it's a die chip, very close to the rim and it has a die crack through the rim. So it's "almost" a Cud. "Missed it by that much!" Potentially it might be a pre-cud because of what appears to be die breaks in two or more areas surrounding the die chip that connect to the die chip. Here's some arrows pointing out the areas of potential die cracks. I marked up your images. Let us know if there are multiple die cracks leading to the rim. FWIW- Pre-cuds aren't valuable but they can be fun to run across since they are more involved than die chips. Here's a link to the Pre-cuds on Cuds-on-coins: https://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-c...s-1956-1958/ Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
