Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 06/05/2014 06:07 am Sadly the quality control on our modern coins is poor. Hence you quite often get extra bits of metal appearing on the design. These don't really count as varieties as they are just random errors, rather than differences in the dies used at the mint. Some people may collect them, but I doubt that most UK based collectors will get very excited about such a thing I'm afraid. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 06/12/2014 12:37 am in Australia, we call this a " Cud" - it's a chip on the die, which creates a "lump" on the coins produced. At the Mint, many dies are in use simultaneously, so there are, potentially, many different Cuds out there. Some designs seem to have many of them - for example - the Australian 2005 50-cent reverse. Some people collect them, and get very excited about "varieties". Report this Post to the Staff
