Much like a coin, if the phone is missing letters, it's most likely post-production.

Or I should say "PMD", because that's the terminology here.

If there's one thing you don't wanna do here, it's get the terminology wrong. For example, I stayed up wayyyy too late last night and did something you shouldn't do when tired, and that's join a club lol... After joining, I went to the error's section here and posted a few responses. In so doing I made an error myself and used the wrong terminology, as a few members have mentioned.

Oops, my bad.

Making such an error here is tantamount to a crime, in that you're gonna take some punishment for it when you get caught. Earlier, in my tired, and uncaring state, I erroneously used the term "CUD" for a die chip in an explanation as to why I thought that the presence of the possibility of a die chip is rendered moot, is impossible to confirm, when the coin has so many dings in it that it's danged.

But, there I go again with using incorrect terminology. I am soooo guilty as charged lol

What I mean to say is that the coin itself is so heavily damaged, having thousands upon thousands of dings in it from contact with other surfaces, that the possibility that extra metal has "welded' to the coin cannot be ruled out. It still could be a die break, and I'd keep it rather than toss it, but I'd write a "?" on the slab in addition to "die chip".

That said, I'm almost entirely a collector of circulated coins. I don't roll search, I don't buy much and have never sold a coin.

 

Agree with die chip...

 

Thank you, Rick.

 

Believe me your fine. Im just jealous i dont have a phone like your modern one. I still have to crank mine

 

Be very careful what you wish for....

 

IMO, it’s important to use the correct terminology in these forums. Many of the questions come from people just getting started in the hobby. Using standard terms will avoid confusion and will also help people learn. I can understand why it may not seem like a big deal to use cud and die chip interchangeably, but cud describes a very specific type of die chip. When someone talks about a cud, I know exactly what they’re referencing.

Maybe it’s a little pedantic, but using the established terminology keeps everyone on the same page, whether it’s numismatics, automotive repair, engineering, or medicine.

If you want to complain about the tone in which people get corrected, then that’s another story. Sometimes people are condescending and other times they just don’t have time to write out a long explanation. Remember, it’s an anonymous forum, so you’re going to need a thick skin.

 

Die chip, and it's very important to get the terminology correct. If new members read it one way, then read a different post with wrong terminology, then they don't know which is correct. Being "old school" a mistake should never happen.
