Coconut On This Quarter?

Can the result of a die break be a Cud? It seems confusing reading various definitions on these. What I don't understand is if there is a die break and the progressive result produces metal protruding from it, would it be a Cud or what please?

A Cud is on the edge of the coin.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking what to the result of the die break is called. When looking at the coin, it is called a die break. It shows as a raised section or blob on the coin.

Just like a coin from a doubled die is referred to as a doubled die. Similarly, a coin with a die crack on it is really the result of a die crack. You aren't seeing the die crack itself.

If someone says, "That's a die gouge", it is raised on the coin. Because the gouge is on the die.

And another: you see fine, raised lines on a coin, and someone tells you those are die polish lines. The die polish lines happened on the die, and are shown on the coin.

Hope that makes some sense.

BTW. . . am just curious if anyone has run across this specific die break on the Northern Mariana Quarter. I found about 30 or so coconut looking ones and only about 5 with the coconut and banner look. These came out of the 100 count bags I had gotten from the mint. Anyone else?

As I stated earlier-

I suppose it would be good to provide a visual aid of what a die looks like, a State Quarter die in this case-



The shank would be the smallest cylindrical portion below the face of the die.
