I guess I really shouldn't say it filled in with "extra" copper. The same amount of copper was there that was meant to be. Instead the metal flowed into the gap left by the die break.
Ask the pros: Would that make the coin ever so slightly thinner to compensate for the distribution?
As far as the reverse, I'm not sure Christopher, I'm still fairly new at this, too! Maybe that's the part of the coin that compensated.

Can't really tell from the pics. But, I believe it is only a " Cud" when the rim is affected. If it is anywhere else, it is just a die "chip". I'll be corrected quick if that's wrong! What are you using to takes pics with? |

I'd still like to know the answer. |

I'm not a pro, but from what I've gleaned here the loss of design on the reverse is definitely compensation for the Cud (which IMHO is huge) without an opposing die, there is no pressure to force the reverse design into the die. Great find! |

so can anyone here give me an ideal on the value? seeing how alot of the value is based on the size and placement of the Cud, I am no-where near qualified to even place a simple 1$ value on this coin. Altho I have seen values between 5-20$ it seems to me that this is only attatched towards coins with much smaller Cuds. any info is helpful...thanks |

OK, great coin! the reverse is weak due to the balkasey affect, not sure if I can explain it though. no, it is not a Cud on the cheekbone, it has to start from the rim and go out. as for value, id say from anywhere from $30 to $40 |

The Blakesley effect is found on clips and has nothing to do with Cuds. Dylans Dad has the correct answer for the lightness of the strike opposite a Cud. |
