RIDB

[Frank]

Found this guy just a short while ago. Appears to have an RIDB as WELL as possibly a cud (?) nearby!

Sorry about the recycled Camel-dung pics, I have to wrestle them in PS after I scan them to even bring out THIS detail! :|

Sorry...just realized I posted this in the wrong place! :smile: That's ok, I moved it for you Frank. As for the coin, all I can see is a die crack with the pics provided.

Thanks, MM! There's a little spot at the end of the crack right on the upper right part of the "N" that's a lot larger than the crack...that's what made me think RIDB. The 'cud' part is in between the "N" and the "E", circled.

I do not think that one is big enough to be classified as a RIDB but it is a chip... The other spot looks like a die dot... Remember a CUD has a crack that goes from rim to rim - From the Glossary -
Cud: A rim to rim die break (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-d/#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 (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-i/#Interior Die Break). 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.

I agree with the others, and there are also a couple of feeder finger scrapes (one large one) in upper left quadrant.

I'm seeing linear bubbles on the upper right, but I guess I'm missing the FF marks...?

A linear plating bubble would bulge through the letters too, what you have is a scrape on the die surface caused by the feeder finger.

Feeder Finger Damage: Damage in the form of scrapes to the anvil die which occur when the feeder finger (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-f/#Feeder%20Finger) inadvertently rubs across it. On memorial cents, these die scrapes always show on the coin in a NW to SE direction and until the mid 90s, only on the reverse of coins, as the reverse die had always been the anvil die (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-a/#Anvil%20Die) up until that point. Inverse die installation (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-i/#Inverse%20Die%20Installation) began in the mid 90s, but thus far there are no known examples of obverse feeder finger damage on Lincoln cents. On older cents, such as this 1944S wheat pictured below, these feeder finger scrapes exhibit in a N-S direction. I am currently unaware of when the angle of the feeder finger to the die was altered. That coin and photo are courtesy of forum member Roller.

Wow, thank you for that Will! That's WAY more interesting than a bubble! :tinysmile_classes_t

I forgot to mention the FF marks in the NE section... Thanks Will for catching that!!!

This coin makes an excellent sample coin for the crack' die dot and FF marks... Glad I could help you instead of confuse you :LOL_Hair:
