1955 cud?

Just wondering what every one else thinks?

I don't see a cud. There appears to be a die chip on the "E" in LIBERTY.

 

I don't see a cud either. The die chip is minor.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Maybe a die chip but definitely not a cud. (A cud includes the rim.)

 

I agree on the die chip, but not your definition of cud. Straight from PCGS;

 

To me a "complete break" means rim to rim.

A die that has broken rim-to-rim but stikes a coin with the broken piece retained in place so that the broken piece of the die strikes up the design on the coin (maybe weakly, maybe fairly strongly) produces a retained cud (that includes the rim).

A die that has broken rim-to-rim and the broken piece has fallen away (or otherwise is incapable of striking up a coin) produces a cud (that includes the rim).

 

A cud includes the rim. PCGS's definition is just poorly worded.

 

I agree. That definition was probably written by a committee.
