A large die break on the back of a 2008 Rosevelt dime

I just had to post this one I found this today. i have never seen a large die break on any Rosie like this, only die chips

I have several , but only small die chips and the location of the die chips are near the cheek area and face,which is common on these,

I like were this one landed up on the back of his head. I Will call this one The bumb.

I thought my coin friends would like to see Rosie with a bumb in the back of his head. a large die break.

Yep that's a good one.

 

Pretty neat. Thats what he got when he smacked Eleanor on the rear end for the first time.

 

Is that one on his cheek also?

 

no, and the 'thingy' by his mouth looks like a scratch.

You got me, I am so used to seeing back=reverse tht I was totally confused

 

Me, too. I thought "back of a dime" meant the reverse.

Cool find. I think I would call this a 'die chip' rather than a 'die break' but I am no expert when it comes to errors.

 

I think it's a die crack.

 

I think it's to big to call a die chip die breaks a larger then die chips and the apperance is thick.

Here's another large die break on a nickle on the bison

Hobo ,when there that large they are die breaks and some call them cuds but there not.

The photo was from ken poters die breaks and cudss . My coin and the bison break are pretty simular in nature.

Jazzcoins joe:whistle:

 

Sorry i confused you guys i meant the back of Rosies head left :hammer:that out in the title

To be a cud it would have to include the rim. A cud is formed when a coin is struck by a broken die. The broken piece is on the side of the die and will include at least a portion of the rim.

 

There is an article in this weeks coin world that I be ties in with this coin by the OP. I read it earlier today. The one in the article has a die break all the way across the coin. The opening OP should make sure that he reads that article, I think he has a predecessor to the coin in the article.

 

Nice find !!! I must have missed yesterday!

 

Hi,

Sorry, that's a die chip. Size has nothing to do with it. A crack meanders across the surface of the coin. This is a "lump" ...lumps are die chips unless they involve the rim then they are CUDS.

Thanks,

This is classified as a die break. I found that information on kens potters major die breaks and cuds ,the pic of the die break on the bison is the same shape as mine that is a die break AND DIE BREAKS ARE LARGER THEN DIE CHIPS

GO TO KEN POTTERS MAJOR DIE BREAKS AND CUDS I do get my information from reliable sources i do alot of research before I come up with a conclusion on error coins. I'm not an expert ,but i do know plenty. I NEVER SAID IT WAS A CUD IT'S A LARGE DIE BREAK.Peace my friend

provide a link , Ken wouldn't call that a die break. He knows what a die break is and this ain't it.

 

Hi,

In fairness, Ken said that ...."What is on the back of Roosevelt's head is what I would call a die break; others may refer to it as a die chip -- to me they are one in the same just the size being the determining factor which is at best usually going to be subjective."

So he would say die break, I lean toward the die chip side of the equation as this "lump" is not jagged and it fits the description of a chip.

Thanks,
Bill

 

That;s because a die break iis considered larger then a die chip What would you consider a die gouge may i ask Have a good day Bill

Jazzcoins Joe

 

A die gouge is just that. A damage to the die sometimes done with die polishing tools, for example, that leaves a scratch in the die. It is usually pretty straight and does not have the jaggedness associated with die cracks or breaks.

Keeping in mind that a gouge in the die causes a recess in the die, the result on the struck coin will usually be a relatively straight raised line.

 

Even Ken said that the size issue is subjective.

Thanks,
Bill
