Pardon if this is the wrong place to post this topic. I tried to search for " Cuds" first, and got no where.

I have this used North Carolina quarter from 2001, Denver mint, with 2 obvious Cuds. Cuds are usually not very exciting. But I can't find information on any recent Cuds on the State Quarter series.

One Cud is below the plane wing reverse, directly below a double-strut. The second Cud is above the plane wing, above the second double-strut, and slightly right of the man. It is also right of FLIGHT in FIRST FLIGHT.

Has anyone else observed or seen these?

None of those are Cuds. A Cud is a die break that involves the rim. We need better pictures to tell what those are.

A Cud must affect the rim. Can you get a close-up?

Your pardon. It was my understanding that a Cud is any unwanted metal fused to the coin, anywhere.

So if not a Cud, then what are they? The photos both show raised bumps of graying metal at these two locations. I first found it by touch. The metal fused to the coin under the plane wing (ahem) caught my thumb.

Where did you learn this? You are in the right place to get this all figured out.

We need better pics to tell for sure.

Here is one location:

It indicates the metal could be a die clip or other error.

From that definition from the link

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,


I guess that makes most collectors a purist.
