Rich C New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 03/25/2018 03:12 am Came across this '62 penny today and when I looked at the reverse I wasn't sure if it was a giant Cud or a heat bubble. The only reason I'm not sure on the heat bubble is the obverse shows zero damage like this or a crater. Included the weight below as well, but unfortunately I don't have .01G on that scale.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 03/25/2018 12:58 pm Not a Cud, just gunk that got stuck to the coin. A Cud would involve the rim and it would also involve the fields too. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/25/2018 3:45 pm If that much was missing off the die, then the other devices would be weakened because of a lack of stock metal. The color on the image with the scale tells me it is not the same color as the coin. You can see it is not hard. I can see letters on parts of it from other coins altering the soft stuff on the coin. Something on the coin after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 1:50 pm I just noticed that also. That is where it looks like a letter was pressed into the blob that is on the coin. Also some smaller ones as well. Report this Post to the Staff
