That was my first impression, but the reverse looks hammered. Home made Cud ? |

OK what does Cud stand for? And is it worth anything? |

That's sweet.... My Cuds tend to be little Zits at the edge. |

CUD? Not sure what the term Cud is used for. We just use it and it is probably more correct in the lower case " Cud". It is where an outside of the die breaks away from the die. It is probably one of the more sought after coins in the error collecting community. I have many coins, but not a Cud. They are usually found in circulation as they usually aren't noticed at first. But your is a nice one. I check on ebay for what the going rate is, but I didn't see a listing today. But it is a nice coin to find. Great coin. Value differs on condition/location of cud/how bad someone wants it. There are publications on just Cuds. But I would check ebay for them to get an approximate price range. Others here may have an opinion. |

That's an awesome Cud - congratulations! The effects on the reverse is not caused by hammering. It's the result of a lack of metal flow into the reverse devices caused by the metal flowing into the broken part of the obverse die instead. |

The term Cud comes from the similarity in appearance to a Cud of chewing tobacco that has been pressed into a person cheek for an extended period. A featureless lump curved along its outside edge. It dates back to at least the 1950's, possibly earlier. |

Hi, Nice coin! It is a GREAT Cud! Also, the reverse is exactly the way it should look. That weak spot is due to the fact that there was nothing offering resistance to the reverse die during the strike since a chunk of the obverse die was missing. Now I'm gonna be a pain in the patoots:-) Can you shoot a clear picture of the word LIBERTY and then the IN GOD WE as well:-) I am curious about something else on this coin:-) Thanks, Bill Edited by foundinrolls

F.I.R..... also thinking the same in regards to the thickness os devices. The "Y" & "T" in Liberty look especially curious.
