TPring has explained what I see too. Nice looking breaks and chips and would be considered IDB's (interior die breaks). I don't see yours listed but because of the circulation, I'm not sure JC would list yours where they are smoothed over. Nice find though!!
Nice IDB... Here a definition of a Cud from our Glossary -
Cud: A rim to rim die break, resulting in a piece of the die breaking off and falling out. The coins struck by such a die will exhibit a “blob” of raised metal along the rim where the normal design element should be. Cuds are always connected to the rim, else they are called interior die breaks. Due to the missing chunk in the die, the opposite side of the coin will exhibit a weakly struck area as shown in the 2nd photo below. Please visit cuds-on-coins.com for cud listings and attributions.
There is a tab at the top of the page... There is also what is called a retained cud (RCD) and here is the info form our Glossary -
Retained Cud: This is a rim-to-rim die break that hasn’t completely fallen out of the die. There is usually some lateral or vertical shifting of the broken piece, which will show on the coins it strikes, although the design will be largely intact in that broken area on the coin itself. Please visit cuds-on-coins.com to see listings for retained cuds.
On the Interior Die Break (IDB) and Retained Interior Die Break (RIDB) I will let you look those up... Nothing like a little practice to get ya goin'
