Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 12/29/2019 11:31 am I see doubling on the initials below Lincolns bust. And I see pieces of the die lodged in the rim. Not sure if that qualifies as a Cud? Report this Post to the Staff

Rather those are gouges (damage) and you are seeing the underlying zinc core poking through from the copper plating. I'd recommend you spend a little time at the excellent website cuds-on-coins.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/29/2019 2:08 pm Incuse marks on a coin is 99% of the time, damage to the coin. (1% of the time it can be a striking issue) Your coin is showing damage. Note how the affected area your looking at flow past the edge of the coin? That shows it was done after the strike. If it were a die issue, it would be incuse on the die, raised on the coin like a die would show: No premium for these, but knowing what happen is the education on these. Report this Post to the Staff
