Is this considered a CUD

Since you all know I am still learning but is the obverse considered CUD?

All I see on the building is a gouge.

 

I wasnt sure about the first "O" in monticello that kind of removes the F....guessing PMD?

 

All I see on the Reverse are gouges & no cuds or anything else on the Obverse. I recently found this CUD at 5-6 o'clock where the designers initials FS should be.

 

First of all, the obverse is the side with Jefferson on it.

Secondly, a cud is a break on the rim that extends into the field. There are some people who believe that a cud can also be a break on the rim, alone. That is their opinion, not mine.

This is like Sheila all over again.

 

here is an example of a cud. not a Nickel Cud but you should get the point.

 

That reference went right over my head.

 

It looks like mine. I did that with my pellet pistol when I was a kid.

Could I have it back please? No, wait a minute. That 1980 Nickel wasn't around in 1964.....never mind!

 

Have we shared any error reference websites with you yet?
Here is a good one I want to share with you - http://www.error-ref.com/

 

Thank you I now I understand. I will be referring to your websites for more error details. I promise I am a quick study once I get all the terminology down I will know how that applies to each coin.

 

here are 3 die breaks and only 1 is a cud. first up is a cud....then just a plain old die break. one includes the rim, while the other is NEXT to the rim. lastly, what some would call an interior die break.

 

First photo I agree with you and also the third photo. Your second photo, I would just like to know what the experts say about that one. Have you submitted it to be examined.?

 

I wouldn't call that an interior die break. Once it comes out, it sure looks like doo-doo to me.

It depends on what "expert" you ask. The expert I go by is deceased and is bad-mouthed by others now that he can no longer defend himself. You can use what ever "expert" you want, but that doesn't mean I should agree with you.

Chris

 

Chris I will agree with you on it depends on which expert you asked. Then that leaves the question whose right. It's only a thought.

 

Definition: A cud is a die break that involves the rim and at least a little bit of the adjacent field or design.

as stated on COC

 

Interior die breaks are often connected to die cracks and sometimes straddle a split in the die face (split die). When it is not connected to a die crack, it is called a freestanding interior die breaks.
