The Retained Cud Shattered Dies Variety Thread

Here's my Wilma Mankiller quarter, which looks to be an intermediate die state, at least based on the size of the die crack on the reverse, which extends into the star, but doesn't go beyond it.
Just ran across this one offered for $3200! This looks to be a late die state based on the reverse die crack, which extends well beyond the star.
Here's another one I ran across, which seems to be even earlier die state than mine. This one looks like it has something else going on with it like it's been struck-through grease or something.
There’s some good variety on these.

Here's a potential reason for the $3200 price:
I have a MS65 example.
Was very picky as I went through several dozen offers before I settled on it. Some sellers of these 22P had multiples. Most of these seem mishandled AU or low baggy MS on fleabay. After five months I stopped doing my hourly & daily searches once I got this already slabbed terminal die state example. Haven't performed my search for these many months now.
Over a short period of time, 5 months, I've seen way more than "ten" terminal die states offered.
I still cannot figure out how to post TrueView but here's my cert link to an external site: PCGS.

Happy Shopping !
Very nice specimen @Mr Lindy ! It's good to be choosey on these because there's a selection available.
I got mine because of the color, which is very unusual on these.
Here's another specimen:

There's a spectacular circular die crack on the 1922-D Peace Dollar V-2A Retained Die Break Variety:
Thought I'd come here for the answer. Retained cuds, shattered dies or both?

Cud coins are interesting (and popular) in the capped bust half dimes. Here's an 1832 LM-10.4. The big reverse cud causes some problems on the obverse strike-up, hence the very weak date.

I do see a die crack or too but no retained die break is noticeable imo
The entire center of the obverse may be the retained die break.
This is what PCGS calls it:
That's a very nice cud @Bikergeek ! Thanks for posting it and making a note about the date on the obverse as well

I don't know if it's a retained cud but it's a cud.

A shattered die retained cud? I just picked up; an 1866 shield nickel. Multiple sections/pieces!
I have an 1891o dime with a shattered rev die and a large (for a dime) retained cud. I’ll post a pic when I get home

This 2000 Sacagawea dollar is probably the most dramatic shattered die U.S. coin I'm aware of. The reverse is an "up and down" of shattered pieces of die. Currently, it is in a private collection.
@SullivanNumismatics - So Jon, what's your personal and professional opinion on how it found it's way out on the mint?

Not retained as there is no design. That chunk of the die was missing.
Without "having been there", there's no way to know. It may have shown up in a bag, or could've been taken out of the Mint, or may have been from a counting house--we'll likely never know.
Hmmm, interesting. Thanks very much for that Jon.
So when you get your hands on something like this or have the opportunity to purchase these major mint errors, are you asking the sellers how they acquired them and attempting to trace/track it's path and origin or history?

Thanks @JBK! 👍🏻

All reputable coins dealers do their best to make sure that the coins they are buying are legal to own--not stolen, or otherwise illegal. So yes, in that same spirit, you try to make sure the coin is legal to own.
Are we limited to only retained cuds or are full cuds allowed? 1835 JR-2

Thanks Jon!

That the population has reached a "critical mass" gives it broader market appeal. People will want one because they know there are enough for them to eventually acquire one. Sort of like the 88-O Scarface Morgan. Personally, if I were to acquire one of this series for a type set, this would be it.

I don't know these to well, but isn't that a retained cud?

1825 B3 quarter with retained cud
That is certainly my definition of one, I asked the question before I was going to post some nice full cuds.

Before and after -
@USA240 great pair! Did you find them together?
This is a 1972-D Jefferson Nickel. I lost the obverse picture, but the reverse is where the action is:
A few from the vault.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Mine:
Believe this one is a contemporary counterfeit. Still pretty cool.
Reverse cud; only one I’ve ever seen on a 1878 IHC. There must be others?
Obvious impression on the ED in UNITED on the obv side.
