Hi I'm trying to find out if this is a common thing.
I have not seen it before, its like little globules of metal left on the surface of the coin.
Can anyone shed any light on this.
Thanks.
Cud or Die Chip??
A die chip and a cud are both caused by the same thing - a piece missing from the die - and both have the same end result - a lump of raised metal on the coin. The difference lies in the size of that lump. Die chips are very small, cuds are bigger than chips. How much bigger ? Well, therein lies the subjectivity. And there is no definitive delineation. Yet others believe to be a cud it has to be on the edge.
Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can't are both right.
