Are Cud Coins Collectable?

[Rocsteddie]

I have a few just wondering if some are more desirable than others. This one and a couple of wheat pennies. Thanks View attachment 1519318

These aren't cuds, cuds are from a break on the edge of the die, so they are only on the edge of the coin. These could be small die chips.

YUP, CUDS are highly prized & value can be into the thousands times face.
cudsoncoins.com has a nice database with photos.

look at my post today in CRH forum for a nice '84 Zincoln with a big 'un that's not listed in the website--- so rarity will hopefully make it worth more

the new issue "ELLIS ISLAND" qtr is infected with an "internal die break" on the elbow----

study & ye shall be huntin' lucratively in no time

Hate to sound stupid, what's the definition of a cud coin

A cud is when the outer edge of the die breaks away and leaves a void.

 

[Rocsteddie]

my bad. what are coins with these imperfections called? CRUDS maybe. Ha Ha

 

[enamel7]

Die chips.

 

[Rocsteddie]

Die chips.

So let me get this straight. A Die Chip is a smaller version of a CUD. That being said what happens to the part of the die that breaks away?

 

[galenrog]

A die chip occurs when any portion of a die is chipped off through use. This could be minor, and barely visible, to multiple chips that are more than obvious to the unaided eye.

A die crack is when any portion of a die is cracked. This can be anywhere from barely visible to the entire diameter of the coin. Multiple die cracks are also possible.

A cud is a specific type of die break where part of the die, which includes a portion of the edge, has broken off, leaving a void. A cud could start as a chip or as a crack.

The portion of the die that breaks off ends up as a tiny piece of refuse on the workroom floor until someone sweeps. It could also end up in a hopper with minted coins. Either way, the broken bit of the die ends up as refuse.

I would suggest that you learn everything you can on the subject of manufacturing coins. By knowing every aspect of this process, it will become easier to recognize errors. It will also be easier to recognize post mint damage.

Last coffee of the day almost gone. There is always tomorrow.

error-ref.com details the process and the multitude of errors that are possible.

here is what 33 years of peeps who are not looking at coins can provide towards that yacht you been wantin'



found this week in a Loomis roll

To add to the knowledge, an area in the inner part of the die that's bigger than a chip is called an interior die break.

Tomorrow is here. Thanks the info. Has there ever been a coin found with a die chip or break embedded in it from the next die strike if it happens to land on the die somehow instead on the floor?
