 |
 |
The major die break or cud is the a widely collected die
error type. They are known for most dates and mints,
though not all. |
|
|
 |
This cud is known as an
�atheist�
cud because it blocks
out part of the motto, IN GOD WE TRUST. Some
collectors collect only
�atheist�
cuds. Others collect
them all. |

This is a interesting cud on the reverse of
a 1955-S cent. Notice the mark under OF AM of AMERICA
and the massive
�cap�
on Lincoln. The part of the
reverse die which broke away remained in the coining chamber
and was struck by the obverse die. The resulting
damage can be seen on this cent. |
