ride2mars New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/17/2020 6:45 pm I was going through a bag of pennies to pull out the copper ones. I found a 1945 with what looks like a rectangular copper slag over the "rib" in pluribus. I want to keep this penny as a oddity. Do you think it comes from a stamping error?

I'm pretty uncertain what it is myself, but perhaps that could provide a better chance at IDing it. Report this Post to the Staff

ride2mars New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/19/2020 12:49 pm Lawest, thanks for pointing me to that idea, looking it up I came across the term " Cud"...could that be what this is? Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 01/19/2020 1:33 pm Not a Cud. A Cud occurs when a piece of the die breaks off on the edge. You won't see flaking but instead an area on the edge of the Coin that was't struck because a piece of the die was missing. Also on a Cud you would see a weak strike on the opposite side of the Coin in the same area as the Cud Report this Post to the Staff
