Hi:
I finally found a "retained cud" on the reverse of this 1940-s. It goes through the rim at K3 to K5. A retained cud usuall y occurs on the reverse of a coin - especially older coins. If it was on the obverse - it usually falls away from the die creating a "CUD." But on the reverse die "anvil" the die break does not fall away - thus a retained cud. That is why the value of a reverse cud - where it falls away are very very rare and are worth some $$. The one I have - I show to a major error dealer on the west cost - he offered me some pretty good $ but I kept it. The 1940-s also has a die break at K11.
Thanks
Roger
