Yeah, not in the best shape, but still, a very nice Cud!  |

Cud like Cud. I will like to know some opinions why missing letters on "pluribus"? It is a curiosity for me. Cud's it is not my field.

The chip on the die that makes the Cud show up sucks up all the metal in that area during the strike so there is a weakness created on the reverse opposite most all Cuds of any decent size. |

Agree with your description.
Question:? why the annealing in this case it is not deformate?

Question:? why the annealing in this case it is not deformate? I'm not sure about anyone else but I don't really understand the question Silviosi. "Annealing" is the process of heating the blank planchet before being struck by the dies, correct? For those not familiar with Italian I found this example of it's use in English: "Deformate"- LINK- https://www.linguee.com/italian-eng...formate.html "Le immagini registrate possono risultare deformate, o il soggetto puņ apparire circondato da un colore inesistente. it.leica-camera.com The recorded image may appear distorted, or subjects are surrounded by a color fringe. Looking at this example of the translation above and your question, what is it you are asking about being distorted (deformate) in relation to the annealing process? My apologies if I misunderstood your question. PP55 Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

@sil, each planchet has a specific amount of metal in it prior to striking. In the usual case, that amount of metal will fully fill up the dies and all the details are imparted from the dies to the planchet. When a chunk of a die is missing along it's edge, a Cud Is formed. This extra metal has to come from somewhere and therefore it is very common to see an area of weakly struck details directly opposite to a Cud. As a general rule, the bigger the Cud, the weaker the details on the opposite side. Hope this helps. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

With respect to all. Sorry for use of the word annealing instead of rim (in time I was full absorb by a annealing topic. About the word defrormate. It is legit word in english and come from deformation definition Quote:
the action or process of changing in shape or distorting, especially through the application of pressure. Thanks to all. |

Nice find TB. Silviosi, the outside edge of the rim is from the upsetting mill on the blank, the inside rim is created by the die. In the area above the missing letters is soft and not sharp, so I think it was effected by the Cud. |

Thanks for all the great comments! It's interesting that quite a few errors can actually be validated by looking at the other side of the coin. Kind of why the board asks people to post front and back of coins, so things can get figured out the first time without needing more photos later.
