merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 02:52 am Looks like a plating blister. Cuds form around rims, which this one has not. Report this Post to the Staff
JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 02:54 am Please study the term " Cud", a Cud is a rim to rim die break. This is not a Cud, it's a plating blister which is common on zinc cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Herestohoping Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 10:08 am Thanks for the info I'll have to read more about Cud. What if the the plating blisters don't depress? Or do only some depress? Report this Post to the Staff

Well if it does depress then for sure it was a plating blister. If it doesn't depress, then it might instead be a little bit of dust or whatever trapped between the copper plating and the zinc core. Neither one affects numismatic value so typically there is no reason to investigate further.
