Paleteromanr32 New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 02:24 am Came across this today, not sure if it could be considered to be caused by doubling, or Cud, I kinda pressed on it with another penny and it's solid. Didn't break and be brittle like zinc rot. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 02:35 am It wouldn't be zinc rot or a plating issue because it is pre-1982: 95% copper alloy, not plated. It is a couple of die chips (one each in 9 and 5): included in filled numbers/letters. A much nicer find than a plating issue!

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 03:18 am the term Cud relates to a defect on the edge of a coin Like the one shown here: http://goccf.com/t/279131#279131 Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 03:26 am most times with a Cud, the coin also shows a weak strike on the other side of the coin. See the weakness in PLURIBUS? the metal to form the Cud reduced the metal to that area Report this Post to the Staff
