Blind Squirrel Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 4:24 pm Great photo. Can you add the entire coin? There also looks to be a die chip between the columns in addition to the die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 8:42 pm Yes, appears to be a very small Cud. Probably no real value for one this small, but a nice find. @josephm99 I don't believe that is a grease error. As I understand, that weakness in the strike on "STATES" is caused by the fact that it's on the rim of the coin and the deepest recess of the die is located directly opposite (base of the bust). The planchet "retreats" into the deep area on the other die, and the strike on STATES comes out weak. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 09/21/2020 9:22 pm I agree that it looks like a Cud, but could you please confirm that it cannot be depressed with the tip of a wooden toothpick?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 7:27 pm I'm leaning more to a die crack/chip. On a Cud the affected area is higher than the rim because the gutter on the outside of the die breaks off. Report this Post to the Staff
