Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1591219, member: 24633"]I must disagree with you, Zimmy. The term "cud" has been defined here numerous times in the past, and here are the extracts from the Official Price Guide to Mint Errors by Alan Herbert...... II-E-4 Rim Die Break (W)A rim die break is defined as: A broken area of the edge of the die with a MISSING piece of die metal beginning at the edge of the die face which does not extend past the inside edge of the design rim, and which leaves a raised AREA of the coin metal of any size or length on the rim of the struck coin. II-E-5 Major Die Break (WE)A major die break is defined as: A very large broken area of the die with a MISSING piece of die metal beginning at the edge of the die face and extending across the design rim and into the field or design, which leaves a raised AREA of the coin metal of any size or length which extends past the inside edge of the design rim onto the field or onto any of the interior design of the struck coin. The slang term for a major die break is "cud." Chris[/QUOTE]
