The weakness would be where STATES is located on the bottom of the reverse and I am not seeing it. The damage makes it harder to tell. I think it looks like a valid Cud
Here is a closeup of the area on the reverse after a 5 minute soak in acetone. Notice that most of the bottom part of UNITED, and the entire word STATES, are missing.
Great find ... agree this is a true Cud ... the damage on the coin is distracting ... but does not minimize the nature of this worn out die producing such a fine error coin.
