Interesting ... I would call that anomaly a die crack, since most retained cuds look more like a blob, since the piece of die was missing. Cheers, RickO
Question: When does a die crack like that be classified as a retained cud or are all die cracks like that considered retained cuds?
i believe the technical delineation is when a crack is solid with no separation goes from rim to rim. if super small, not sure it would be a retained cud at that point and when it is super bid (bisected) i am pretty sure it isn't called a retained cud any longer although it fits the technical definition. 99% of them are pretty clear-cut and obvious.
i've added a link to my sig, the last one, that links to a good error coin training site. (i do plan to clean up the signature. still deciding on my new format.
