<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 7883701, member: 19165&quot;]If it is a well-studied die, with a prominent known cud, then I could see using the term. Some early US coins (bust halves, etc) have multiple die states known, some of which develop into shattered dies, retained die breaks, or cuds. The &quot;prime&quot; state with no die cracks would be differentiated from a die state where the breaks start to develop, the state where the cracks connect, the state where the fields are now at a different elevation, and the state where it develops into a full cud. </p><p><br /></p><p>In that case, I could see using the term &quot;pre-cud&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>For something like this dime, or even a later state of this die... it might feel a little gimmicky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
