    IDB - Interior Die Break. Known as a Die Chip.

    A cud involves the rim then into the field.

    These are CUDS -
    From my collection.

    IDBs are common on the wheat stalks. I'm guessing it is because of the tiny ridges of the wheat are/were more prone to breaking off during the minting process.

    A cud must touch the rim. Since this is on the wheat stalk it would be an interior die break. A die crack causes this effect.

    I don't have any wheat stalk die breaks but I have quite a few cuds.
    Here are a couple of my favorites:

    Not stupid, just uninformed. Now you have learned something new, which is one of the reasons these forums exist, to teach and pass on information.

    Someone stupid would have argued with the knowledgeable, even after several of them explained why it wasn't a cud.
