1958-D - small cud? die chip? strange pmd?

Hey guys, can't decide what this is. Sort of looks like a small die chip at 9:00 on the reverse of this 1958-D, but it's on the edge. Thoughts?

Thanks for any opinions!

Small crack/IDB.

 

It's a die crack. Not a cud.

 

Thats what I thought at first an IDB.

 

It looks more like a folded over rim burr to me. One that has begun to lift / peel away from the surface with age. Kind of got that lamination look to it.

 

Hmm, any way to confirm that without peeling it back? I wonder if something thin enough could try to slide under it...

The interesting thing about it is that it appears to take a hard left and run up the side of the wheat stalk.

 

Looks more like a lamination than a crack. What about this thing, what's this?

 

A deep cut from something.

 

Yup, looks like damage. When I hold light up from the left, the right side of it lights up, so it's incuse.

 

Too dark and fuzzy for me to make out.

 

That's what I needed to hear.

 

I fiddled with the contrast, maybe making it less washed out. In the process I noticed apparently I have some die deterioration doubling occurring on the C to the right. ha.

 

Thanks for the picture. It’s a die break.

 

When the dies deteriorate they get a little bouncy. It could be that, a slip or twist in the strike...
