Die
Die crack and cud
A fatigued die cracks or loses a chunk at the rim; metal flows into the void leaving a raised line or blob.
How to spot it
A raised (never incised) jagged line across the field, or a solid raised lump joined to the rim for a cud.
Value impact
Small premiums for cracks; rim cuds are scarcer and more valuable.
Known examples
