theworstever Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 12:17 am Thank you. I didn't think that's what it was called. I will look up split plating Report this Post to the Staff
theworstever Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 12:20 am It's not split plating. It looks like there is extra material in the inside of the zeros and the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
robfromshasta Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 12:34 am The definition of a Cud is extra material due to a die crack, and there appears to be extra material, though the glare does indeed make it hard to judge by the picture. A die crack would have made the extra material in a given area, but in this case it is on the roughly 300 degree part of the curves in that area of the coin that implies to me it may have been some other type of error thàt left extra material. In any case, very cool. Definitely a keeper! Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 05:21 am A Cud has nothing to do with extra metal. A Cud is a major die break (a piece of the die is missing) causing extra metal flow in the planchet involving the rim of the coin. There is no extra metal and the coin will weigh the same as any other coin (with extra metal it would weigh more). The most important part is a Cud involves the rim. So in the case of the above coins if there appears to be metal pushed up into the numbers then it is just die chips and not a Cud. I can't tell from the photos. The nickel COOP pictured above is a nice example of a Cud since the die break involves the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
