So how can a Cud happen after the coin is struck? A Cud cannot happen after the coin was struck but that is not what happened anyway. You can still see parts of the peripheral devices because that part of the die did not break away, thus a portion of the letters were struck. Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 08:44 am What I see is that there does not seem to be any melding of the devices touching the anomaly. I would think that metal flow during the strike would cause more of a melding. I also see areas where the anomaly does not make contact with the field. How can that be if it is indeed a Cud?

I agree that it is genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 7:50 pm Errorcoins, what I am talking about is it seems that this anomaly stops at the face of the lettering. If it were a true break there would be more of a flow from the anomaly to the fields, but this does not show that. It stops on the face of the letters fairly sharply. Report this Post to the Staff
