If the crack kept progressing, it would become a retained cud(rim to rim crack with displacement) and eventually a full Cud with that piece of the die breaking away. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20057 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 10:59 pm What bio said. Some people collect dies/chips, to them it might be worth a very slight premium. However, it usually will detract from the value as most collectors see it as a flaw. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
