    So how big is enough to be considered a free standing interior die break this coin is riddled with die chips but the one on the oak makes me think of Hornets nest.

    Someone has apparently cast a pox upon Frank. Nice die breaks, both obverse and reverse.

    Great find! Interior cuds are MUCH scarcer than the usual edge cuds. Here are a few examples from my specialty. Cud Obv 1797 S-131 2.jpg Cud Rev 1800 S-200 3.jpg 1855 N-09 Knob on Ear 4.jpg

    I thought cud’s had to be rim to rim. Aren’t these just considered die chips?

    from my understanding it can only be considered a cud if the rim is involved. On the obverse of this coin they are commonly called die chips they are no bigger than the head of a needle, maybe close to the size of the head of a ball point pen. However there is a term called freestanding interior die break and that happens when a die chip reaches 4 mm. http://www.error-ref.com/freestanding-interior-internal-die-breaks/
