Hi all .. got this through today which was "cheep as chips" and a bad sellers photo

i would say that i should hit a NGC AU-55 with it :applause:

 

Also check out the die crack !

 

Question: When dose a die crack officially become a rim cud ? as this coin seems to show features of both hm

Nice find, dooly. What you have going on above TRUST could be just a serious die crack. It becomes a die break when the piece fully breaks off - the piece on the die will move and be loose, often meaning that the fields in the broken section will be at a different height than the main piece. This is a retained die break. When the piece finally breaks off (or gets wedged so far back that it doesn't strike the planchet) and you are just left with a blob, then it is a cud. Cuds will usually have the rough surface texture of an unstruck planchet, since that is essentially what they are. Cuds are always at the rim of the coin - sometimes you will see sellers use the term cud for die breaks or cracks in other parts of the coin.
