Today,I found the younger cousin sister of my Malaysia.2005.10 Cents, the twin brother-Major Die Break "CUD"s.She is a Malaysia Bunga Raya series,year 2006, 10 Cents coin.
Coins are made by minting machines that apply tremendous stamping pressure to pieces of metal, leaving artistic patterns in the finished coin. The piece of metal, or coin blank, is called a planchet, and the hardened patterns that stamp the coin are called dies. There are two dies in a minting press, one die for the Obverse, and one die for the Reverse of the coin.
After hours and hours,days and days of coin striking, the dies sometimes break under the pressure. Mint workers usually replace the dies before they crack, but sometimes several coins are produced before the workers find and replace the dies. If the broken dies go unattended for long periods of time, the break grows worse and worse, leaving larger and larger malformations on the struck coins. A large lump of coin metal left by a major die break is called a cud or sometimes extra metal.
The cud on the Bunga Raya 10 cents coin in our picture is quite spectacular. If you look closely, you can see the effects of the die break on the obverse (front side) of the coin.

Hi Mr Dickson,
ReplyDeleteTerima kasih banyak2 kerana pamirkan spesimen major die break yg terbaik utk dijadikan spesimen pemerhatian dan kajian..Adakah semua cud error akan memberi kesan pada kedua permukaan syiling?..Elok juga Mr Dickson dapat sepasang,nanti kami semua tunggu anak2nya pula..hehe
Terima kasih banyak2 Mr Niew....
Dear Depankanta,
ReplyDeleteBanyak terima kasih!
Cud Errors bermaksud Die Break (retakan atau pecahan serpihan die) yang besar (major),sehingga ketulan besar menonjol ditepi dan menyambung dengan rim dipermukaan syiling tersebut dan dibelakang syiling yg sama pada tempat yang sama pasti ada kesan cekungan yg nyata. Jika tiada ciri-ciri ini,maka ia bukanlah CUD Errors,hanya Die Clash biasa.
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeletePhew, fantastic.
These major die break are definitely not easy to come by.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Dickson :)
Dear Whycollect,
ReplyDeleteYes,not easy from normal in circulation!
I got it from a error coins collector in the north!
Good buddy friend!He got two pieces of the same kind,I "anak angkat" one of the twin!Haha!
Dear sir..boleh tuan bg penjelasan extra metal error vs cud error? adakah sama atau berbeza..terima kasih..
ReplyDeleteHi Fauzi,
ReplyDeleteCud error biasa disamping rim dan satu ketulan yang agak besar, extra metal boleh jadi cud yang kecil,blob error dan juga die chip yang agak nyata, sukukata 'Extra Metal" agak general untuk menjelaskan sesuatu.
