<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cascade, post: 2391878, member: 75984&quot;]Because a die chip is usually a sudden event. A weak point that after X amount of strikings chips off. There really isn&#039;t stages to becoming a die chip. It just happens. But there can be stages where a die chip can get larger. Think lincoln BIE&#039;s. However sometimes part of a die crack can chip away then you have what looks like a die crack with a &quot;blob&quot; looking die chip in the middle of it. Like I said a retained cud is called that because the piece of the die (a crack that went from rim to rim) didn&#039;t break away when it should have or just wasn&#039;t ready to yet. A die chip already lost a piece of the die (a very small piece) so I ask you... what is &quot;retained&quot; about a die chip when it&#039;s already chipped away?... get it? There is nothing &quot;retained&quot; about a die chip, the tiny piece of the die already broke off and away[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
