Trisa New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 9:52 pm I've only been doing this for a couple of weeks now and am not familiar with all the terminology. What is the blob on the bottem edge of this penny called? And is it a keeper? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 10:12 pm That is known as a " Cud", caused by a section of the die edge breaking away and leaving a void. Value would be $5-10 and it can increase with the size of the Cud. Nice find Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 06/02/2014 11:34 pm A Cud is a slang term for a Major Die Break from the 1960s that stuck. It appears to be the same as CU-1c-1983-02 http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-cuds-1983-2/ Edited by OcalaFlorida 06/02/2014 11:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
