On the border between Rim Cud & Interior Retained Cud. Maybe? Regardless of what you call it, the rim is definitely involved. With that said, it is odd looking, more like solder applied or something squeezed onto the coin in layers. Not so much like a Cud occurring during minting. Edited by Tacc

The pattern of it does look similar to a weld. The back and forth overlapping wave pattern.
But that's just my observation. ?

I will admit haven't delt with but a few Cuds and its formations do look a little different to me but if someone had added metal to this coin I would think that I would see a greater weight than 3.1 grams I can try picking at it with a toothpick and see what happens. But if it was welded on or solder on the toothpick will do nothing but break. |

Quote:I will admit haven't delt with but a few Cuds I have only found 3 myself, so my comment on your coin is really just my opinion of course. Hopefully our better qualified peeps here will have some opinions to add.  |

I did some rubbing with a toothpick and it's definitely not a Cud as I previously thought it is getting a acetone bath again and will take new photos in a few hours maybe a fold over rim but will post new pictures in a few hours. |

How disappointing but none the less the area in question is not raised but incused you can see the tops of the devices on the R and B and L and P not so much on the E I can only conclude this is some form of PMD nothing I can think of would have caused this in the minting process  |

It could be a legitimate error. A lam/ strike through sounds fitting.

Being incuse makes more sense. That was the way my eyes originally saw it, and was trying to force myself to see it raised.

Willburton I am a little confused with what you are suggesting as a possibility the lam part I understand but if it was a strike through wouldn't that leave the surface raised rather than incuse

I'm on board with Will Burton about it being a struck through.
A struck through would have been some foreign matter (probably metal) on the planchet when it was struck. When that piece fell out it took the missing devices with it and left a void.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
