<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 198908, member: 4920"]Wow, I think I'm actually starting to understand this. The part of the die that "broke off" was "incused" so as to make the normal impression in that part of the "9." When it broke off and then pressed against the planchet it left metal in that space on the coin, and that's the "cud." A "greased die" is different, it's just what it says, which results in "weak strike," and isn't the result of a defect in the die (thus, technically, isn't an "error"). That's a piece of it, anyway? Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well gee, you don't have to go celebrate it...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
