It&#039;s found on the Collar. The name that it has been given is the <b>Small Collar Die Break</b>. It has also become known as the <b>Rotating Collar CUD</b> which I will explain.</p> <p style="text-align: left">A few years ago I was intrigued by this error and wanted to find out more about it after I saw and purchased a NGC slabbed sample.</p> <p style="text-align: left">The year was 2002 and the Philadelphia Mint were cranking out their Kennedy Halves. And as it sometimes happens.. trouble. The collar that holds the Blank Planchet in place cracked. Just as Obverse Hammer Die and Reverse Anvil Die Cracks, Die Cracks appear when the metal is forced into the tiny little space. This time it&#039;s on the collar. What is interesting and the reason is not known, is that the Collar Die Break is found in different positions around the Collar. The theory is that the Collar is not held in place and turns around as the Planchets are struck.</p> <p style="text-align: left">There is a section on the&nbsp; Error-ref website dedicated to the Rotating Collar Cud which I will share with you all - <a href="http://www.error-ref.com/rotating-collar-cud/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/rotating-collar-cud/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/rotating-collar-cud/</a></p> <p style="text-align: left">[ATTACH=full]562089[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: left">[ATTACH=full]562090[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: left">Here is an example of a big CUD on one of my 12 raw coins in my collection.</p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
