Hello,
I was at the credit union and couldn't help but ask if they had any halves. They had $140 so I got them. Found 3 40%ers and these interesting specimens. One has a rim error and the other looks like the E in liberty doesn't extend to the top of the head like it should. Are these common errors or are they special?

I'm not an expert, but the Cud looks like the coin just may have been smashed on the rim. It looks like there may be some grinding marks around the E, or some type of grain difference on the coin there. Woot on the three 40s!
Rest in Peace

If I see this right, the first coin has an area raised on the reverse with an area just opposite on the obverse that is lower than the rest of the rim. This does appear to be a rim Cud on the reverse. The proof is the area on the obverse rim just opposite the Cud. Because of the missing area on the reverse die the corresponding area on the observe does not strike up as well. The only thing bothering me is the area on the obverse. I wouldn't expect the edges of it to be so sharp. I would expect the lower area to gradiually flow up to the rest of the rim. I wouldn't expect the abrubt lines. See what some of the other members say or maybe show some more pics of the edge and the obverse side.

The E just looks like it was struck through a small amount of grease. This is very common and carries no premium.

Thanks for the replies. Pyrbob you're right in that there is an indentation on the obverse that corresponds to the Cud on the other side. If you look at the edge, it can be seen:
