cool mint error. would that be considered a cud error? or was the die damaged? wonder if this is a one of a kind?

 

The crack of dawn is my best time for lighting, at least for the natural lighting . There's also no overhead lighting, because the lighting in the morning at my kitchen table is very neutral ( + - ) ..

 

You read my mind, but don't think the MOD would of aloud it ..

A cud, by definition, only occurs at the rim of the coin. This is an interior die break, popularly called a "chip" because it didn't occur in conjunction with a crack.

I like "snow" better than the alternatives.

 

Correct, to be qualified as a Interior Die Break, the area of question has to measure 4 square millimeters ...

What's with this Metric system, standard please ........

 

I'm in the wrong here, but in my head I've always defined a "die break" to be a later-state die crack which has opened/catastrophically failed into a greater "width" dimension. Error-ref includes chips like this within the overall definition of "die break."

 

Now why would you think that? You don't have to call it bird ship(?), just call it birdie doo-doo.

 

The old timers would just call it a Die Break ...

 

Very true ....

 

I should take some full shots and start an auction on ebay for it ..

Wouldn't bring enough money in for fees, I think .

 

That's a big one, Rick. You got a good one.

 

Here's a couple of full shots ..

 

when did these come out ? will be looking in change for it.

 

It depends on your choice of words. I had a die break on the brim of John Muir's hat (2005 CA SQ) that I called Condor Doo Doo.

It is very unlikely that only one planchet was struck before the error was spotted, if at all.
