Couldn't be a possibility? Not really, no. A " Retained Cud" is where the piece of metal that breaks off the die is still hanging there, somewhat loosely. You'll notice the little piece of the design on the "retained" portion has been displaced somewhat - it's moved, because the piece of the die that has (almost) broken away is no longer in the correct place. I'm not seeing any such movement on your coin. You'll also notice (again) that the cracks around the Retained Cud are not straight. Quote: New theory it's the actual rim that's come off and it got there. That's not really a "new theory"; it's basically what we were saying back in my first post. Rims don't just "come off" during the striking of a coin; the coin's rim is not a separate piece of metal that's attached during striking, it's all one solid piece of metal. For the rim to "come off" it has to be broken off, or torn off, after the coin is struck. Something sharp, and straight, did this breaking-off, causing the metal to pile up in front of the blade. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Might have been very well been stepped on, or ran over by cars. You need to study the minting process in order to understand how actual genuine errors and varieties happen. Not trying to be mean or anything. Just trying to help you learn and better understand how errors happen. https://www.ramint.gov.au/collect/c...ting-process Errers and Varietys.

JustRandomCoins Valued Member Australia 101 Posts	Posted 04/22/2026 02:18 am The last photos I was looking again trying to figure out how there are raised bit, but obviously it's because something struck it cause the metal to move upward towards the A, like der. It's so obvious now. I thought ooh raisend parts it's a winner, maybe I need better lighting... Should I delete this post? Should I be using page forum to advertise wht I have as such not to ask questions on stuff in unsure about. Example a have a few 2021 10c 'O' Cuds and one nose one, I guess Cud thing. Just that I don't think learning the minting process better will answer that for me. But the nose isn't listed does that mean it's not an error? Who declares anything an error and who makes up the names? Is the lyrebird from a worn die? Or was it run over? Where do I ask these questions if not here?
