Think This Is A Cud Error Or PMD, I'm Stumped.

Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 7:44 pm This is an odd looking Cud if it is not PMD. It would seem that the rim looks right for a Cud but where the extra metal is, the rim for that area has been deformed and sports a "plateau" like bend. If you look at the reverse where the Cud is on the other side, you see like a struck-thru grease error but it seems to have files lines within it? Do you think someone added metal to it (only way it'd be PMD I guess) or is it a legit Cud? Thanks ahead of time Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15493 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 8:50 pm Nice find ... a true Cud indeed. The associated reverse weakness affirms this as a Cud. prybob makes a very educated observation ... those reverse striations in the reverse weak spots are indeed original planchet marks. Keeper for sure. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 01/06/2012 8:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 07:39 am What I see: I see an area of damage on the reverse, as if it is scraped. I don't see the typical area of weakness. I also see that the coin is bent, as if it was in a devise (which subsequently scratched the reverse). I've never seen a bent (wavy as you say) coin that had a Cud. Also, the 'area of weakness' on the reverse from a Cud would not be broken up into two distinct regions with complete details between them. It would be a uniform area of weakness. Question: Does the waviness of the coin correspond to these two areas on the reverse that have the design missing? That is, is the coin pressed in exactly where the coin has those those two specific regions of interest on the reverse? This Cud is also not in any of my books.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 07:54 am Looks legit to me. I think it only looks bent because the Cud is raised and the opposite side of the Cud is lower/weaker if you will. Nice find. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
