Greetings everyone
Just bought this unusual Die Crack Bison
Thought you would enjoy seeing it.
I am very new with type of error and any feedback will help
Not my pictures
Thanks
Alan
This is what the seller had to say about this coin
A long Die Crack can be seen below the D of the United entering the back end of the Bison's Rump. The marker for this Error
is the Cud in the lower portion of the E of the States

the "CUD" is a chip filled segment of the E in states. a nice piece. i got a 2004P nickel with i think 5 die chips in it. Very cool to see. Im sure you did fine on the price.
as a chip and crack man I think that one is purdy.

Hi $5.00
I bought it because I really like it, but any more and I would have passed .

cud is only along the rim, that is a die chip in the E

does the crack extend to the rim?

I don't believe that a "die crack" needs a marker since........well..........it is the marker.

But its a nice term that folks like to throw around.

So is CUD. Most of the, uh-hem, uninformed folks like to refer to any glob of metal as a CUD when in reality a CUD only occurs on the rim of a coin where the die has broken to the point where it can no longer make an impression on the planchet. As such, it leaves what appears to be a "pool" of metal.

For example, if the die crack on your coin were to continue up to the rim between D and S and down to below the U, it would create a CUD once the area became too weak to strike the coin. Total die destruction occurs shortly after that point!

I would have paid 5.00 for that. Nickels seem to be harder to find with me. I hear they do alot of OBV. side CUDs from 2004 and back by the bust but i havent found any.
