Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 07:07 am Hello, As most of you probably know by now I have no capacity currently for coin pics. So I am borrowing this pic to explain what's going on with my coin. The 07 P dime is towards the bottom of this page (052) This link is not allowed by the Staff /Coin_Help_Blog/us-mint-error-coins/ My 07 P dime has more metal from the neck extending to the MM. I had to look at the MM through a loupe to figure it out as the metal (big chunk) is extended all the way from the neck to the P making it look like a D. Also on mine there is some sort of doubling or grease filled / blurry effect going on with TRU "in god we trust" (T looks like a I ) and streaks below the whole area (trust). However I do not have anything going on the reverse. Is it a Grease Filled Die / Cud / combination of things. What is it? Thanks. The author of the pic calls it a Cud. BTW, I searched CCF and did not get any hits and Google found the above link. If the link is removed by the mods then search Google for "2007 p dime Cud" and link is the 6th one down. Peace Report this Post to the Staff

Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 07:38 am Thanks Morgan, Mine's extended all the way to the P and is filled in. Are die chips in the same category as Cud's? Peace Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 12:33 pm I see people use the term " Cud" for all kinds of chips and breaks. I don't think it is actually considered a Cud unless the rim is involved. I'd like for someone to set me straight on that. Cuds command a premium, chips do not. I guess there might be some people out there that would pay extra for a chip, especially a well-placed one, but as a general rule of thumb, I'd say no. Report this Post to the Staff

Die chips are an accepted part of the minting process and occur after extensive use of a die. A Cud is a collectible error because it is a die break that leads to die failure. The technical(and correct) definition of a Cud is a die break that affects the shank and face of a die. Unfortunately, " Cud" is one of the most misused terms in numismatics.
