So is there a techninal name for this type of die fault? An extra piece of metal between points of one star. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/04/2012 09:04 am Quote: I think I've seen it referred to as a Cud as well I have read that before but here in the U.S. a Cud has to involve the rim in one way or another. If the Cud is only on the rim then it is called a rim Cud and if it goes into the field of the coin then it is referred to as a Cud.Since the coin in question is not a U.S. coin then I guess you can call it a Cud I am confused over the definition of a Cud and would like to know from some pros what the facts are in regards to what a Cud really is.

Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 07/04/2012 6:31 pm In America, " Cuds" are die chips on the rim. In Australia, thanks to the somewhat sloppy usage of terminology by the chap that writes the errors and varieties column in the Australasian Coin & Banknote magazine, a Cud (usually written as " Cud", as if it were supposed to be an acronym for something) can occur anywhere on the coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
