mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 04/27/2025 10:17 pm Came across this interesting 1983 LMC. There are Retained Interior Die Breaks on the obverse in Lincoln's hair. I checked Cuds on Coins and did not see a match for this coin. Also---is it feeder finger lines that we see on the obverse next to Lincoln's face and rear hair area? Or are these die polishing lines or abrasions? Thanks for taking a look. I look forward to your comments. Report this Post to the Staff

mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 04/27/2025 11:34 pm Thanks jfeed and E&V for your replies. Jfeed, I did not mention seeing Cuds. The Cuds on Coins website confirms all sort of die breaks on coins --not only those that have Cuds. Retainined Interior Die Breaks (RIDBs) are what I noted on this coin, not Cuds. I have been noting some collectors are looking for new and unique RIDBs. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 08:59 am Not too sure that the die cracks on the head is a RIDB - A RIDB would be an area that is encircled by cracks. This one just seem to be a very long die crack that might branch off at the top to possibly reach the rim at some point. Not seeing any FFD ( Feeder Finger Damage) here - it all seems to be die polishing lined. I would expect FFD lines to all be parallel to one another, not wavering around like we see on your close-up images. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
