It appears in the December 6 Coin World:
http://www.coinworld.com/insights/elongate-cuds-may-be-due-to-brittle-die-failure.html
The first sentence was mangled in the editorial process. Here's how it appears in print:
"Die cracks and a 50% retained cud characterize Stage 1 in the breakdown of this shattered Roosevelt dime obverse die face (where the die face meets the die neck). Cuds vary enormously in size and shape. Even so, the maximum distance any cud intrudes into the design is almost always less than its maximum width. It’s therefore quite unusual to find a cud that extends well into the design but that happens to be narrow where it meets the die’s edge."
Here's how it was submitted:
"A cud (marginal die break) occurs when a piece breaks off from the “corner” of the die face (where the die face meets the die neck). Cuds vary enormously in size and shape. Even so, the maximum distance any cud intrudes into the design is almost always less than its maximum width. It’s therefore quite unusual to find a cud that extends well into the design but that happens to be narrow where it meets the die’s edge."
I just wanted to clear up the unavoidable confusion caused by this ill-advised change.
