Cud Errors occur when there is a major die break in the coin making process. When a coin die struck over a million times a day, it will eventually crack and a piece will fall away even though the dies are made from tool steel. As a crack progresses and reaches from side to side on the die, the portion defined by the crack will in most cases, fall away. When this occurs, the next coins come into the die will usually end up having a featureless blob on the face where the die broke.

Major Die Break or "Cud" always involves a breakage of the die that includes a portion of its shank and field and or design areas. In other words, it will involve a section of the die from its edge large enough to include some of the face of the die that has broken and fallen away or has been retained. If a die break occurs anywhere away from the edge (or neck of the die) within the field of coin design it is NOT a cud.
