Die Cracked Wheat, now fortified with photo (CUD????)
by rsk1963 » Sun Jul 24, 2011 10:37 pm
In my sorting this eveing found a wheat that has some pretty severe die cracking on the wheat on the back (about 2/3's the length of the wheat stalk). The coin grades out between VF & EF. Was wondering about valuations on the thing?
As always, any help is appreciated.

is it a 1934?
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Any die cracked coin found in the wild is an awesome find!!! Congrats!
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.

That's very cool! Great place for the cracking to show up.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

I have never seen a die crack like that before. Usually, they are just raised lines going across the coins. This one almost looks like welding slag. Unusual to say the least.

So been doin some lookin round, and I think this is a "cud" Error?? Can anyone verify that, that is what this error is?
Thanks Morse.
I know Sheik, this is why I posted this guy.

I thought cuds were usually a piece of the die that breaks off usually on the edge and not inside of the die. But I guess a chunk could have fallen out in the crack area....and with nothing to press down to create the image....you'll have that "extra" copper. But I'm no expert.......maybe Abe knows.

Yes, from other forums I've been searching over a die chip is considered a "variation of a cud" ???
None the less. It's a nice example of a common error for the 50's wheat, from what I've been reading.
I should change my handle to "WTF is in my pennies" as this is the 2nd weird penny in as many months.
