You get a small crack propagating in the die, and it will appear on the coin as a fine line. As that crack grows, maybe a large chunk of the die breaks off. Now you have a die break - that will appear as a big bubble. </p><p><br /></p><p>If that die break happens to occur at the edge of the coin, attached to the rim, we call it a cud. A cud is really just a special type of die break. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, in terms of value... minor die cracks generally aren&#039;t that valuable, unless there are a lot of them or they are severe. Once it evolves into a full die break or a cud, then they begin to be more interesting and valuable. </p><p><br /></p><p>As with anything, there are no set rules on values - the more dramatic or extreme the die break, the more interest there will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
