bookshelf Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 3:42 pm Can you educate me what to look for on the reverse if something like a Cud appears on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 3:59 pm Large Cuds will typically have a corresponding area of weakness on the reverse caused by metal expanding into the section of broken die( Cud) and not the design detail. However, small Cuds like yours do not always display the opposing weakness. Nice find Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 6:30 pm bookshelf, is there any possible way to get a photo from the side looking across the face of the coin towards the " Cud"? Report this Post to the Staff
bookshelf Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 10:24 pm seal006, I will have a couple pictures focusing on the " Cud" in a short while. Report this Post to the Staff
bookshelf Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 11:17 pm Thank you very much for your help. Here are some closeups of the extra " Cud" piece as viewed from across the coin and a few more angles. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 03/01/2013 01:28 am Exactly opposite the Cud on the reverse side of your coin should be almost no detail struck on the "N" in "ONE" as the added metal on the obverse Cud would remove the pressure needed to fully strike the "N".. I have a few Cuds and just checked my photobucket album to post some photos here, but unfortunately I didn't post the Cuds in any of the error albums.

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 03/01/2013 04:39 am As stated, I am not seeing this as a Cud. The metal is hanging over the lettering on the obverse. So how can a Cud happen after the coin is struck? This is starting to look more like PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
