drhscl New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 01:26 am I apologize in advance if my question seems obvious to some. I had come across a 1985D Washington quarter with a cud. As I was examining this quarter by adjusting the settings on my photos I noticed what looked like characters across at least the number "8" in the date. Is there a reference source on this subject? So far I have been unsuccessful in discovering information. Your help is greatly appreciated. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

PNWType Valued Member United States 180 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 02:56 am from the level of damage to this coin I expect the "characters" you are seeing are just a trick of the damage the cud is pretty neat to find though Report this Post to the Staff
drhscl New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 03:07 am Thank you. I like to call the quarter my zombie Washington. Your reply makes sense. I appreciate the help. Be well. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37642 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 05:23 am to CCF. I am not convinced it is a CUD. Being that large there should be an indent on the opposite side, and you would think it would be already listed here http://cuds-on-coins.com/washington...s-1932-1999/ John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 18600 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 07:29 am @drh, first welcome to CCF. Second, it could be helpful to see a pic of the edge of this coin right where that potential cud is. I know that it will be hard to get the focus right, but that should help to determine if this is just metal that has been smudged over as damage or an actual cud. Thx.

ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 2877 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 08:46 am I'm seeing a highly damaged, compromised quarter--with more than its share of rim damage. I'm leaning toward the assertion there is no cud, given the conversation above and the photos. Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 1754 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 08:57 am Quote: That poor, poor quarter. Is there a Dr. in the house? The coin probably went through an automobile shredder and then was repaired so it could circulate. A couple well placed blows with a hammer and maybe a little filing will restore most coins to being able to pass through counters and vending machines. Back in the old days a lot of badly mangled quarters like this circulated and very few were being returned to the FED for recoining. There will probably be a little filing on the edge adjacent to the "cud". Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Edited by cladking 01/22/2021 11:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

drhscl New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/22/2021 12:18 pm Thank you all for your assistance. You have been very generous with your wisdom. I'll attach an additional view, but based on the characteristics of the coin from that view and the assistance from cuds-on-coins.com, I realize it is PSD. Report this Post to the Staff
