MintPenny Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 02/15/2026 2:41 pm I purchased a large lot of cents from my LCS and found two of these in that lot. It appears there are several reverse die cracks and pre-cuds on the reverse. Would this fall into the definition of a shattered reverse die? Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

Marc Ingram Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 02/15/2026 3:26 pm Great pictures! Nice coin and die cracks!! Not a completely shattered die yet but it was well on it's way! Not a Cud. I'd say Retained Interior Die Break, RIDB. Report this Post to the Staff
