<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 63823, member: 1859&quot;]To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, we use the terminology we have, not necessarily the terminology we&#039;d like.</p><p><br /></p><p>All standard references, and all of my error coin colleagues, restrict the use of the word &quot;cud&quot; to die breaks that involve the rim and at least a little bit of the field.&nbsp; There are other kinds of die breaks besides cuds, interior (or internal) die breaks being one of them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t make the semantic rules, but I have to follow them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If folks use the terms &quot;internal cud&quot; or &quot;interior cud&quot;, then they&#039;re misusing the terminology.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a horrible misuse by any means; folks still know it&#039;s a die break that has no direct connection to the rim.&nbsp; There are many other terms that are improperly used, often by people who should know better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
