Very nice Cud. The Colorados had a lot of excellent Cuds for whatever reason. Edited by SamCoin

@Gizzy yep! classic example of a Cud right here. A Cud is any die break that takes place at the rim of the die and affects the fields of the coin or design elements (as opposed to a rim Cud, which is a break that only affects the rim itself). It's kind of an arbitrary distinction that collectors care more about Cuds than die chips, but Cuds do tend to be more major when they occur and can be quite spectacular. Unfortunately, quarter Cuds are collected less than on pennies, so the premium might be a little lower, but still 10-20 dollar coin imo. Edited by SamCoin

Do you guys know why a lot of the Cuds on those colorados are in that specific area? Would it be because of one particular die that produced a lot of them? |

There is weakness on the strike on right side of 'WE and the rim looks a bit affected, so I feel it is a genuine Cud.  |

@JoeTheLucky Cuds happen when a piece of a die breaks off the rim. As such, every coin struck by that die after the break will have a similar Cud in the same place (although the Cud may grow larger as more metal breaks off the die). Moreover, Cuds will often develop in the same areas of a coin, since they are generally a reflection of where the design is weakest. Since the raised elements of the final coin are incuse on the die itself, these create weak points that will be more susceptible to cracks and degradation, and you will often find Cuds and other die breaks along the same lines of weakness. |
