Texas quarter face covered in die chips

There are die chips above his eye and anolg bridge of nose. Big one on his cheek and then along line of mouth from nose to chin. Also some on bottom left star point. Texas has a lot of cud errors, but could not find anything similar to this

Cuds involve the rim of the coin and can be quite spectacular at times. Die chips, on the other hand, are common to all worn dies, so it is not unusual for there to be no separate listings for them. Dies wear out from any mint and any country.

 

Thank you. And I did not know what the difference was... I actually thought they were interchangeable

 

Here is some info for you. There are many types of CUD, but they all involve the rim

Thanks

 

Here are some Cuds from my collection..

Some beginners think that they are added metal to the planchet. Not at all. That part of the die broke away so when it strikes the blanks the metal from the planchet flows into the void.

 

Thank you for that, it was a perfect ELI5, and now it makes sense

 

It does appear that George has some battle scars on his face, but different lighting seems to be fooling my eyes, so I'm not positive if they are die cracks, or something else.

 

The area around the mouth looks like damage to me.

 

The runny nose quarter.
