bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 7:46 pm I was thinking it might be a Retained Cud that was working it's way out. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 7:54 pm It would have more value if the Cud was still retained, but still a cool find. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 11:04 pm That is an indent strike, caused by another planchet overlapping when the coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 04:15 am Can we see it from the side? Report this Post to the Staff
bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 05:37 am the side view of of the rim looks normal. it is incuse, wouldn't an overlapping planchet flatten the rim during the strike? Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 06:23 am I agree with Biokemist.And I don't believe a Cud can "fall off". Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 10:39 am To me it looks like a chip off of the planchet (12:00) and getting struck into the reverse and falling off during it's travels. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 4:18 pm Look at the obverse side where the anomaly is. That looks like it would with a Cud. If the rim is not flattened like the OP states, how can it be an overlapping planchet? Plus wouldn't also be more round shape than it is? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 4:45 pm Cuds are in relief on a coin while an indent strike is, well, an indent. Small indent strikes will not obliterate the rim(especially when the collar is still in place) and the overlapping planchet is distorted by the strike so it will not have precise circular curvature.

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:10 pm the area at 12:00 looks like PMD to me, the copper coating is missing but not enough metal to have caused the indentation. Report this Post to the Staff
