Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7484929, member: 105098"]technically it's a curved rim to rim die crack. the crack is only a lateral fracture and not much spread.For it to be a pre-cud there should be more separation, a horizontal or vertical spread of the crack.For a cud it would have totally broken off of the die. A pre-cud should show some sort of Vertical or Horizontal displacement or"spread" of the fractured portion from the rest of the die. I mean, technically speaking, a pre-cud, and eventually a cud would appear, if they continue use of the die,  but this is way early in the progression to it happening. So, generally speaking, you ain't wrong to call it a "pre-cud" but technically speaking it's a curved rim to rim die crack still and in it's infancy on it's way to becoming a pre-cud or cud, and if they took the die out of use, then it wouldn't have much significance because there wouldn't be examples of the rest of the progression to cud. Cuds-on-coins doesn't show a 1976P at all, I'm not sure if this die was taken out of service early and that's why it never progressed to cud, or if they just don't have an example of one yet on there. I know for a fact there's more than a few cuds they don't have listed that should be that are significant.[/QUOTE]
