nicknamed the "Hitler devil" ? lol just kidding. interesting find.

 

I prefer the "Magnum P.I." stash.

 

Okay! It may be listed on "cuds-on-coins" but it is not a cud. A cud is a break along the rim that extends into the field.

It's a neat error, but not a cud.

Abe has nothing on the Selleck 'stache. Just saying...

 

like the title says, it's a RETAINED cud. http://cuds-on-coins.com/retained-cuds/ Who said it was a Cud?

 

agreed, it l0oksmore like a strange lamination.

 

Give me a break! It is not a retained cud, either. A cud is a break that extends from one point on the rim, goes into the field and curves back to another point on the rim. A retained cud is one that has clearly separated, but has not fallen off of the die.

This specimen looks like two radial die cracks that happen to be parallel to one another.

If an Edsel is a Ford, should we expect that all Fords are Edsels?

i guess you know better than the expert in the field.

 

No, I'm quoting the expert! You should note that the site you referenced is dedicated to three former error specialists, one of whom is Alan Herbert. I'm using the explanation detailed by Mr. Herbert in his book. Have you read it?

I'm just going to leave this here for you. If you want to educate yourself a little before posting, it would be in your best interest. http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-1909-1958-rcd/

 

I guess you haven't heard of Alan Herbert.

I think the cuds-on-coins site uses a very workable definition for a retained cud:

"So, we use the simplest form of what a retained cud is; a die crack that is from rim to rim and has a portion of either the field or a portion of a design element(s) contained within and has a lateral or vertical displacement."

 

not to make you mad, but it does look like a die break. I am no expert on this. is a cud a blob of metal on the outside of the coin ?

 

To quote BJ Neff from the LCR:

 

No retained cud here. Some intersecting die cracks primarily.

 

It looks cool but it's just die cracks.

 

It also appears there some lamination in the planchet.

 

Die cracks not a cud

 

And the final word is;
