    I think the one in the letter C in AMERICA is a die chip, but it is in the column that I am wondering about. It is raised and wavy and very smooth. Could that even possibly be doubled die? I kind don't think so but I thought I would just ask because of the wavy smooth look. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Its a die break ,Philadelphia uses their dies until the bitter end and the die breaks apart leaving a gap in the dies which leaves a raised lump where the die is broke off. Remember cuds involve rim.

    it does have pmd but up in the last bay on the left is a die break, I can't remember what the other coin they gave it the term a bee's nest but that's what they called it lol.

    Cool, thanks guys. Yes, I have a coin with a tiny bit of cud on the rim but nothing big about it.
