I'm going to be the skeptic here - just for the sake of the debate. What if this is not a Cud, but material that was added to the coin soon after it was minted, then worn down over 100+ years of use? I ask this because a true Cud of that size would require a significant volume of planchet material to be diverted from the opposing obverse side to fill the broken die. However - we can all clearly see the full rim and LIBERTY opposite of the Cud location. Leads me to a conclusion that the ' Cud' was not produced by a broken die but by material added to the coin. What do you think of this view? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

nickelsearcher; Your debate has merit and welcomed, however I do see a lighter Lib from Liberty. Maybe not light enough, I just do not know.

nickelsearcher , the only way to respond to your skepticism is showing you the weight of the coin in discussion , I would think it a piece of metal that big would add some weight on it , but unless my scale's wrong , it shows it's 3.1 . I though about it when the guy from Waco had a price of $3 dollars on the 2x2 .  Edited by uruman

Well done on the find and the listing. I find it interesting that a Cud this size didn't create an issue on the obverse with metal flow like Nickelsearcher suggested. It seems there should have been weakness around the obverse rim from k2 to k4 though since this area would be opposite the right wheat. Maybe the die metal in the area of the Cud was displaced enough to show the Cud but not enough to interfere with the metal flow. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
