luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 12:21 pm I run into these chunks/blobs of metal occasionally what are they and what are the cause? Most of the ones I find are on the date. Do you know if this type of error is from die damage or gunk? Report this Post to the Staff

Most of the ones I find are on the date. Do you know if this type of error is from die damage or gunk? They are die chips and breaks as the others have said. The chips in the date often occur from a small post being broken from the die. Think of the die's surface as just the opposite from the coins struck by it. All of the devices are incuse, which leaves small pieces of metal, like posts, sticking outward from the die. An example would be the inside of a 8, which would have two small posts.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 4:52 pm I think Cuds were named after the Cud a cow chews, like a blob of gunk. I suppose that could be like gum.... Report this Post to the Staff
