Chronoswiss Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 7:34 pm I don't see any damage in that area along the rim. Cud or fin that bent over? Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 7:41 pm Usually a coin with a Cud also has something odd on the reverse of the coin on the opposite edge. Does UNITED on the reverse have a weak strike or missing letters? Report this Post to the Staff
Aftermathew Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 7:56 pm That looks like a failed die break. I thinks it's a type of Cud if I remember what I've been reading properly Ovoid Cud Definition: An ovoid Cud is a die break that incorporates part of the rim and a portion of the die's interior. Its shape will be in the form of an arc from one part of the rim to another part of the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 8:53 pm oops, it I had paid attention to the date, I would have seen it was a LWC not LMC I don't really see any weakness in the letters or design. I am not sure Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 9:54 pm I think it's a rolled fin. I believe I can see where the S was struck underneath of it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 10:09 pm Or a struck through fragment. It should be raised higher to be a Cud. (higher than the rim) Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 09:47 am If a planchet gets punched from the strip by a punch that has a chipped edge it can leave a little tab of metal on the edge of the blank. As the rim is upset that tab can get folded over onto the face of the planchet and then struck into it when the coin is struck. Report this Post to the Staff
