I tend to think it's NOT a Cud. REASONS: -- it doesn't have the classic Cud shape -- the rim is still intact, i.e., not incorporated into the 'blob' BUT: -- the reverse shows a slight weakness in that area which is a Cud diagnostic |

The shape is acceptable. I have seen nickel Cuds angle in at times. The rim that shows is the protorim from the upsetting machine. Excellent Cud ! |

Kanga, while I understand that train of thought, it's actually listed on cuds-on-coins as CU-5c-ND(D)-08

What is the deal with Cuds? And why keep them? I've been throwing all coins that looked like that away? |

On a Cud, the rim will be taller where the Cud is. That is what your seeing.
The reverse being weak on the opposite area confirms it is a cud. |
