I would guess die chip, a Cud would be on the edge of the coin. I am only guessing chip because I don't know if that is part of the coins design or not.  |

A Cud is a type of error, so is a die chip. A Cud will always involve the rim. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

That might be a Doubled Die called the leaky bucket. Need a better pic though. I see you're cropping them right, you said you would.  We need a clear close-up now. Edited by CoinMasters

I've been using the Opti-Tekscope Digital USB microscope. It's less that $100 and it works well for most of my needs and it's easy to use.

On the scopes,the lower the scope goes the better eg 5x-150x You can get them for under $50 some are like $15. There will be a big learning curve with the led lights. I have a Celestron 44302 and a cheap AmScope (less than $20) I try to avoid using them and use a point-n-shoot digital camera in macro mode. John1 |

I just searched it. It is a chip. Pardon my memory please. There are a lot of Doubled Dies for the Homesteads, but this one is a chip. I too use a digital camera in macro mode. It's a Nikon Coolpix and it cost $200.

Thanks for the info for the USB microscope. I am looking into getting one. Hopefully soon. My camera really doesn't take close ups good.
