1943 Canada half die crack

Purchased this awhile back for the album and was nicely surprised at the die crack on it that wasn't mentioned in the ad.

Looks more like a "rim to rim" Die crack to me. Awaiting more expert opinions.

 

Neat.
Retained Cud.

Can we see the entire coin? Front and back.

 

Very nice find and in decent shape.

 

Sweet

 

Does that make a difference. Guessing rim to rim is a better type of crack. Or is that a die crack cud. I’m sorry

 

Damn you paddyman. I should cheat and look for you before I guess

 

The full size picture was much much better. Nice picture

 

Nice catch. As @paddyman98 stated, it is on its way to becoming a CUD. When the die fails at that point, the piece comes off, it will produce a large CUD, but for now, you have a nice example of a Canadian coin with a die crack.

 

Pretty neat find. I’m not an error expert and was thinking it may be a retained cud, @paddyman98 confirmed!

 

No, it's not a cud quite yet; just a crack

 

When the piece eventually falls off of the Die then there will be a void. When the Die strikes the blank planchet the metal flows into the void which will be the Cud. At the moment it's a Retained Cud or Pre Cud.. Got it?

 

Not sure that the Canadians call the errors as we do. In the US we call anything rim to rim a retained. In Canada there may be more or less when calling errors. If it was bi level and showed that the area was loose when struck it might be a different story.

 

It's a "hoof in date" gone wild. I don't find it attributed as such, but there is another example here https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coin...cents-1943&years=50-cents-1937-1952#erreur-13
noted as a "retained broken die." Nice find.

 

Thank you all for the input. Seems to be a lot of potentially different terms for something like this.

 

I just knew @paddyman98 was right. I just wanna see what he sees before he tells me what I saw. I would love to get there

 

That I understand

 

You know what. I just caught this cent. Kismit
