mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 05/28/2026 10:12 am Just pulled this out of 1964 Proof mint set. At approximately 11:00 on the rim between I and B of LIBERTY is what appears to be a Cud. And remarkable toning! Is this worthy of sending to Cuds on Coins? Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3467 Posts	Posted 05/28/2026 10:17 am It looks like toning due to a hole in the proof set plastic envelope. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 555 Posts	Posted 05/28/2026 10:18 am Looks like a toning spot, I agree with nfine that it is from a hole in the plastic envelope. Edited by Mrhakfbacon 05/28/2026 10:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 05/28/2026 1:27 pm Thanks for the responses everyone. Certainly the toning on the field around what looks like a Cud is likely the result of a hole in the cellophane. But, the semoi-circle area at issue on the rim is raised. So, if not a Cud could this be a small area of sunken die? Report this Post to the Staff
mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 05/29/2026 4:38 pm Update---You CC foks who responded were right. I used MS70 to remove the unwanted toning on the coin, and surprise---the semi-circle "toning spot" or "carbon spot" (whatever it may be technically) partially disappeared. So, you were all correct in your assessment that it was not a Cud. The coin looks much improved with the dark toning and the less noticeable "spot." Again, thanks to all who weighed in correctly with the helpful responses. Report this Post to the Staff
