Hey everyone, I just came across an old 1945 Mercury dime that isn't in the best condition but it appears to have a Cud error on the reverse side of the coin. I wasn't sure if it was an actual Cud error because I see no signs of damage on the other side of the coin. If anyone has ever seen this before or can provide some insight I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance!   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Close up images of the area in question would help

Looks like some sort or residue, glue?

 That is a lump of solder, not a Cud. |

Thanks for the answers guys! It looked a little weird to be a Cud , glad to get other's opinions on this! Thanks again |

Those pictures really help, it kind of looks like solder, and the reason I say that is because with a Cud you will normally see weakness on the opposite side where the Cud is and on your coin I don't really see that. Also I haven't seen a Cud that has bubbles |

Indeed - to the CCF! The little air bubble impressions in the solder give it away immediately. |

Might it have been on a necklace at one point in time?

The good thing is now you have an example to compare it when you do find a Cud sample. |

After editing probably over 80,000 images: Easily. I use Photoshop to edit and I create different backgrounds to add to borders and sometimes in the centers.
(Just something I do on images I need for my educational files that I don't have yet)

Solder. Extends beyond the actual rim and a Cud would not. Obverse shows no weakness opposite the alleged-cud; bubbling inconstant with a Cud. Was probably attached to a charm bracelet or used as a pendant. |
