Hi shaden and  to CCF!  I did miss your post, and am glad that the 'bubble' has been found elsewhere. It gives others hope that they will soon find one/some.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I don't consider the 08 short wave or bubble 20c anything but a curiousity coin variety
The 2004 pointy A's are documented official varieties from the canberra mint fro the official sets of the year

2004 large heads, and no gaps, would be die varieties (as 1966 wavy or 2000 50c incuse), while the 2010 bubble is a Cud (as 2005 50c boot), but rarer. |

Make that 2 bubbles - the first I found while "window-shopping" my bags in the car, and the other I've found after a comprehensive noodle at home.  @nancy what I call the "boot" Cud probably goes by a number of other names, so I'm sure you're very familiar with it already - here's a pic...  |

FNQ ...I really dont think you can compare the 'bubble' with the 'boot Cud'....and I really dont think you can call this 'bubble' a Cud. What is the definition of a Cud? Quote "An area of a coin struck by a die that has a complete break across part of its surface. A Cud may be either a Retained Cud, where the faulty piece of the die is still in place, or a full Cud, where the piece of the die has fallen away. Retained Cuds usually have dentil detail if on the edge, while full Cuds do not." Numismatic Glossary  |

I consider a Cud to be the product of a defective die, where a part of it gives way, resulting in a raised segment of metal on the coin. While purists may argue that Cuds can only occur on the edge of the coin, I use the term in a more encompassing manner. What do you believe it to be larena? |

I believe that this Cud will still be visible on very worn coins because of where it is positioned on the design |

Quote:I believe that this Cud will still be visible on very worn coins because of where it is positioned on the design I would agree, as the high points of the waves will take the wear and protect the bubble. mrcruise is very fortunate as he would appear to have one of the transitional strikes before the die fragment completely gave way and became a full blown Cud. |

Is a Cud worth more than a die variation? I would not think so. |
