gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3767 Posts	Posted 01/09/2008 12:35 am I noticed this occuring on 2 dollar coins so far - maybe the mint tried to overuse the dies for them and this is what happened? And it's not for one year but for three different years so far: 1998 1999 2005 Note, a Cud is formed when parts of the die start to break apart, leaving extra major flow of metal that you can see on the rim.

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 01/10/2008 02:49 am G'day, I'm wondering: are $2 more prone to rim Cuds than other denominations ? Peter in Darwin Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/10/2008 3:18 pm $1 seem to have the most rim Cuds. I haven't done a list of them yet, but will eventually. I have a heap more $2 with incomplete Rim Cuds (I can't think of any other way to explain them), where there's been a collar clash & the rim has been raised & then folded over making a 'Rim Cud' that's not the full width of the rim & with tapering ends. 1999 was a bad year for these, there's so many I've stopped keeping them.

Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 01/10/2008 8:44 pm Peter, http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...hp?album=377 The above post has some pictures of the $1 rim Cuds to be found. IMHO the rim Cuds are predominantly on the Reverse. They are occassionally found on the obverse. They can also be found on the 5 cent coin, again predominantly on the reverse. While I have not searched as many 20 cent coins as others, I have only ever found one rim Cud on a 20 cent platypus (again reverse). There is a form of rim Cud on the coming home 20 cent. I have not found rim Cuds on any other denomination. I will get around to posting more pictures eventually. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 05:40 am I've got rim Cuds on all denominations except 50¢. I saw 1 picture of a 50¢ with a rim Cud, can't remember where though, probably ebay. I find they're fairly uncommon on the 20¢, 10¢ & 5¢, don't have any great numbers, I just know I've got at least one of each. I'll track them down & list them some time soon. I've started getting a list of $1 ones together, so I'll tackle the lower denoms after that. Report this Post to the Staff
justabeginner Pillar of the Community Australia 1014 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 08:51 am I was wondering, is there a significant value priced on a Cud? Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 2:58 pm Depends entirely on how common it is, how many collectors want tnem, all the usual things. Although I do collect them, I don't buy them as I do pretty well finding them. Do a 'Rim Cud' search on ebay, that should give you a rough idea. If I saw another 50¢ rim Cud for sale, I might be tempted to buy it, just to have one, but I probably wouldn't go higher than $7 incl postage for it & even then it would have to be in pretty good nick.

Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 01/12/2008 12:26 am I agree with Nancy. They are certainly collectable, but I wouldn't bother buying one. I got a $1 2001 IYOV double rim Cud today. I must admit that it was the only rim Cud in $1000, and that they are are becoming a little scarcer, but they are still around and all you need to do is a little noodling.

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/12/2008 03:24 am I got 2 more $2 Rim Cuds today. I'll add them to the list in my 1st post about them. Might as well keep the list up to date. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3767 Posts	Posted 01/12/2008 03:45 am This is interesting - I just took a look at Yass' examples and I'm quite puzzled. It seems the Cuds are predominately on the left - any reason why? I was expecting a reasonable 50-50% on both left and right but most of the examples so far are on the left. Nancyc seems to have a better distribution of the Cuds.

Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 01/13/2008 01:13 am I was thinking exactly the same thing this weekend. I have lots of rim Cuds, but I don't recall any real Cuds on the right hand side of a coin. Perhaps its the way I look for errors. On the $1 coins, I generally start at the smallest roos ear and work my way around anti-clockwise. I'm pretty sure I'd pick up a right hand Cud, but I'll be a little more careful. I'll ask some colleagues if they've got any. Report this Post to the Staff
