here is a 1953P. I am posting only the reverse, as the obverse has nothing of added interest. I am assumint the feature on the "left" wheat stock is a die break. doe something like this add any collector value to the caoin, or is it more of an interesting, novelty to the Coin World. (psooibly not even that interesting to others). not that I am trying to sell anything or make money at this. (the time invested, far exceeds the monitary reward). I am simply searching my own old stored coins, looking for things of numismatic interest, and establishing their approximate value.

I'm thinking a dollar or two to the right person.Condition of coin would also play a big part.I'm just guessing.Would that be considered a Cud?

Some people have been calling it a Cud. But it is a die break. A Cud would include the rim.

Both I found and didn't realize they were Retained Cuds until AFTER I labeled them.

Here's a good example of a die break that I recently posted. Pretty strong.

"Die break" is a non-specific term denoting a void created by brittle fracture. The blemish on the wheatback cent is a "die chip", specifically. The blemish on the 1998 cent is a "rim-to-rim die crack". Some may choose to call it a "split die", although I think it's a bit thin for that. A subjective call.

OK Mike, thanks for the lesson in terminology. Is the rim to rim die crack in any way common ?

Rim-to-rim die cracks are quite rare on recent cents. It's a nice find, although the demand for such defects is small. But I've never tailored my collecting interests to errors that that hold popular allure.
