    Terminology question; Die crack, die break, or small cud?

    Would this be considered a die crack, break, or a small cud? It has a little displacement on the rim, but it is obviously a crack. Thanks.

    I would call it a die crack.

      It is just a die crack from what I can see.

        I would defiantly call it a die crack...it would need more to be a cud or break

          So, is it that the only time it is called a die break, when it is interior with a large chip or there is an obvious rim to rim cud involved?

            No, die break is a general term for when a piece of the die breaks and falls out, it encompasses cuds (connected to the rim), die chips (small and not connected to the rim), and interior die breaks (large and not connected to the rim).
