What is this? There are a bunch of cool and knowledgeable people on here. Your cropping pics is a pain. I can't post a question or pic on here without my 300mb limit. You crop it, save it, it's gone. Great community but your image upload limits is a problem for me Sorry,just frustrated. Edited by moderator for family friendliness *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

I find it easiest to open the free cropping tool, drag and drop photos on to the green bar and then either type in a new resolution (starting point is usually 1200 for me) or crop extra area out of image. Click save images, then download each to my PC. Then when I upload them to the post, they meet the 300kb limit. Pain in the neck sometimes but with practice it does work. Keep trying.

I was trying to post about a 1989 quarter, worn but ok. Well, its clean clipped and has major Cud in that area (not like it was melted over, etc.) Has anyone seen or heard of this? Its clean cut but large Cud in that area  It looks rough but its a clean cut on side and that's one big Cud?  Edited by NTesla

Sounds like damage by your description. However I could be wrong, you just need to upload the image.
And as the moderator commented about, please use family friendly language from here on out. We can only help you when you help us, in this case, properly uploading photos that we can analyze.

@nte, thank you for posting the pic. I know that it can be a bit of a thrash at first to learn how to upload them here. Of course, you can check on the cuds-on-coins website, but in my opinion, your quarter has suffered a huge rim ding rather than being a mint error. If that was a Cud (as opposed to displaced metal), then the coin would still be round. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

After reviewing your photos, I believe my original claim was correct, it is damage. If it was a clip, there wouldn't be a reeded rim present on the "clipped part" on the coin. Looks like it was somehow smashed into the coin instead, so it would be PMD. |

Thank you. But see how it's reeded? How can that be if damaged. Thanks and sorry. Figured out just have to edit pics before posting.

Sorry but that is PMDThe reeding is showing because it was retained by the collar which puts the reeding on the planchet so the coin would have to have been round before being struck. If it was a clipped coin, no reeding would be showing so therefore the damage came after the coin was struck. It has just taken a heavy hit displacing the metal. Corrected my stupid mistake. Must have had a Seniors moment this morning. (Been having a lot of those lately  ) Edited by JimmyD

It is damage BECAUSE it's reeded. If it were a clipped planchet, there would be no reeding on that area.
I'm not sure how it occurred, perhaps by using a blowtorch or heating up the coin, but metal was shifted over the obverse.

Not to argue, but if its folded over like that the reeds would still be there? If pushed in the reeds still look decent? Just a rookie I guess but how can there be post damage, cut off, pushed in but still have reeds? Wouldn't they be absent completely or totally messed up if damaged coin?

I don't know how it was damaged or how it got to that state, but damage is damage. PMD and nothing more. I'd move onto a different coin if I were you. |

It doesn't really matter how it happened, unless you were there you might not never know, what is important is to know that it is impossible for that to happen during the striking of the coin. There are only a certain number of things that can cause an error and that is not one of them.

Agree with comments above--a damaged quarter. The coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.
