Not a Cud but it’s a very nice rim to rim die crack.

 

Nice Retained Cud - I haven't seen that one before.

 

Can you please explain how this is a cud? All I can see is a rim to rim die crack.

You can see the vertical movement best at the A.

 

Just doesn’t look like a cud to me. Just a rim to rim die crack.

 

I can see the shift along the edge. The broken die has just not fallen away at this point.

 

That’s all I see so I’m not seeing a cud, just a rim to rim crack.

 

It is a rim to rim die crack(pre cud). But when that crack shows vertical or horizontal movement (as this coin shows) it is called a retained cud. If the rim to rim die crack bisects the coin, it’s called a bisecting rim to rim die crack.

Very neat Gorham. Definitely a retained cud.

 

I think there is a small cud also. Below the A and to the right. 2nd photo.
In the first photo it's at the top.

 

Understand now?
Write it down - Retained/Pre Cud

Basically. A Die with that part cracked and hasn't fallen off yet. When eventually it does fall off then there will be a full-blown Cud on the coin. Unless a mint employee catches the cracked die and replaces it.

It's kind of like a cracked molar that hasn't fallen off yet.

 

I love these. A nice combo would be a cud from when it broke off

 

A retained pre cud is a lot different than a cud. It still looks like a rim to rim die crack to these old eyes. But I can see the die was close to breaking off completely.

 

I like that one. I’d put that one in a good holder. Glad for you

 

Same here. Much different

 

Correct not a cud this is a Retained cud.

 

Nice addition for my shield cent error album. these must’ve had a short life span striking planchets I think.

 

@Collecting Nut the first three arrows from the bottom show the void between the surfaces, yes that usually means a die crack. But this image shows it as a step and not raised on both sides. This is clarified by the fourth arrow pointing to the rim. The notch shows that there is an elevation to the area, and the chunk of die has seperated.

 

Great photos as always!
