themaineway Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 08:12 am if this is a Cud, is there a more specific name for this or just an early (rim?) Cud as it just looks different (very "pimply" and edges are not as defined/crisp as the Cuds I have seen) there is also another small area on the rim below the o of one starting... not shown And what might have caused the "indents" on the rim just before the word united? part of this event or ? Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 09:21 am I'm leaning towards it being a folded over fin, not a Cud. Sometimes if the striking chamber is not set up correctly some of the coining metal squeezes up between the collar and the die. This results in a thin "fin" at the coin's rim. Further along that fin gets folded over. That's what I think you have. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 2:57 pm Looks more like die attrition on the tops of the devices on UNITED. A better set of images showing all of them on UNITED would be a great thing to happen. Edited by coop 09/07/2018 3:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
