sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 9:05 pm My guess is die damage, probably done before the die was hardened. Report this Post to the Staff
Neo13x Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 11:26 pm Not sure if it adds value but it does make it more unique. There is a buyer for everything but personally I would keep it. I enjoy having coins that are more one of a kind..... as long as its not PMD Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 1:52 pm Cuds always include the rim. If it is only on the rim then it is a rim Cud. If it goes into the field of the coin then it is a Cud. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 3:42 pm I guess it depends who you ask Quote: Some experts in the error-variety hobby insist that for the blob to be called a Cud, the damaged part of the die must include part of the edge of the die. Although this is the purist definition, in common parlance you'll see the term " Cud" used to describe the blob created by any die chip or serious die crack, regardless of its placement on the die or coin.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 3:35 pm OR could be a secret Mint Mark made just to make people wonder where and what it really does. Cuds and such are just minor errors and usually not even noted by many as errors. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 6:36 pm "Common parlance" because some are too lazy and stupid to use the language appropriately. If it's on your arm, it isn't a nose, and if it's not on the rim it isn't a Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
