fincbob2451 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 11:43 pm Hello, This coin has a spot of extra material on it. Any idea what caused it and what would this be called? My apologies for the photo quality, It is vwery dirty and hard to photograph. Many thanks David Report this Post to the Staff

Redifin Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 08/09/2017 01:14 am that coin is so dirty it looks like a capped die strike! Looks like a real big die chip to me. An error simpler to a Cud. Report this Post to the Staff

fincbob2451 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/09/2017 09:05 am Good morning, Here is a little better photo of this coin. Short of cleaning it this is the best photo I can get. The area is just a raised blob of extra metal. I hope this photo helps. Thanks again David Report this Post to the Staff
RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 08/09/2017 11:17 am Poke at it with your fingernail. If it squishes down, it's a worthless gas bubble. If it stays firm, it's quite the interesting Cud / die chip / die break. Report this Post to the Staff
fincbob2451 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/09/2017 2:27 pm Hello, Thank you all for your replies. As a newcomer to this hobby I appreciate all the insight and information offered here. The blob of material is solid and is just slightly higher than the edge of the coin. In your opinion what would be the best way for me to classify this coin. Many thanks David Report this Post to the Staff
