The reeding is showing because it went through the upsetting mill which puts the reeding on the planchet

Quarter blank after upsetting mill - no reeds
Doesn't the collar die add the reeds?

Looks like someone smashed the edge in with a hammer, used to do that every now and again when I was younger

On a Cud, because it is in the collar, the coin would still be round, not distorted in shape. It will have the reeds because of being in collar. An on the side opposite the Cud, there will be a weakness of the design.

You might wonder why the Cud is higher than the rim? That is because on the die, an edge has broken off the die, leaving a void to allow the metal to flow into that area.

Thus because of the missing part on the die, the opposite side will not have a design, but a blank area. (As much of the metal that is left on the planchet.
