<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinman1234, post: 2056662, member: 51208&quot;]A cud is a raised &quot;blob looking thing&quot; on that edge of the coin, mostly on the edge, the edge of the die would have chipped off leaving that raised area, some people consider it a kind of die break, others don&#039;t. A die crack is a long narrow raised &quot;scratch&quot; anywhere on the coin, made after many coins have been struck and the die starts to crack in some places. A die break is almost like a cud except it can happen anywhere on the coin, it happens when part of the die breaks off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: Any thing that involves the die cracking, breaking, or breaking in any kind of way will result in a raised error, never sunken.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a cud that I found in circulation.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]378537[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]378546[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here is a coin demonstrating a die break</p><p><img src="http://www.images-apmex.com/images/Catalog%20Images/Products/51625_var.jpg?v=20130602094622&amp;width=450&amp;height=450" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here is a coin with a die crack.</p><p><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/2CGho4KZsMnuONYYFD1kxjZ8e*AJ5ZUk6LYiMYMNRq6pnA5Ff3Zcvq0s91IL1K-XV1A-ARoy8a*I*l5HPIXar0vJADP5uxNB/LincolnSpike2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
