John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 06:04 am Nice photos. Just so you know, a Cud only happens on and by the rim. There are rim Cuds that are only on the rim and then there are Cuds that extend into the rest of the coin starting on the rim. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

You can get them for 65 bucks at officeworks or bbc computers. John1 so to be classed Cud it has to touch the rim? What would the extra part on the toe be called if it is extra I'm not sure on it.

larena Valued Member Australia 323 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 09:02 am Definition: A Cud is a damaged area resembling a blob on the surface of a coin which is raised above the field a little, and which obliterates the device or inscription where it appears. Cuds are the result of die cracks which have become severe, or from die chips where part of the die surface has become damaged and broken away. Some experts in the error-variety hobby insist that for the blob to be called a Cud, the damaged part of the die must include part of the edge of the die. Although this is the purist definition, in common parlance you'll see the term " Cud" used to describe the blob created by any die chip or serious die crack, regardless of its placement on the die or coin.
