Cuds-on-coins is designed to be a comprehensive visual database encompassing a wide range of die errors caused by brittle failure.  Its original focus was “cuds”, a cud is a marginal die break; an error produced when a piece breaks off the edge of a die and involves the rim and at least a little bit of the adjacent field of design. The database has now been expanded to other types of broken die errors listed in the column to the left.
