papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 12:07 am Could be die chips or Cuds on the letters. No idea on the claws, the coin looks shiny so it could just be it looks like something it isn't. But I am sure someone that knows will get on here and let you know !! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 12:52 am Die chips, not Cuds. A Cud is where a part of the outside edge of the die has broken off. Chips happen on the interior areas in the fields next to devices. A part of the die chips away. Report this Post to the Staff
