<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2544752, member: 24314&quot;]New poster here.&nbsp; I&#039;m missing something.&nbsp; I see a major die break from the rim to the base of the cab of the locomotive and then up to the field behind the cab.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not see anything remotely resembling a &quot;cud.&quot;&nbsp; Now, I read the link to Ken Potter that was written in 2006.&nbsp; He probably should update it as by that link anyone could call what you have a cud!&nbsp; While true cuds involve the rim and continue on to the field; they usually turn back into the rim at some point in their progression.&nbsp; IMHO, the major die break on your coin is not a true &quot;cud&quot; and the die will continue to deteriorate until the break returns to the rim (then the major break becomes a retained cud).&nbsp; When the piece breaks away, these coins will have a true cud as illustrated in the other links.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am posting here as you have argued in many threads that you are free to use or interpret numismatic terms any way you wish.&nbsp; IMO, it&#039;s too bad you feel like that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
