Could be a little Cud, maybe even a broken collar. Not the expert here, let's see what others say. |

 to the CCF Your coin has taken two hits, one on the side of the rim pushing it up causing the hump and one on the top flattening it along with the T Y This is considered damage. |

Sorry JimmyD, but I think you need to take a closer look. It's a rim Cud. Pretty decent one, too. Probably worth a small premium. |

From the edge, I cannot see any flat spot that appears to be any kind of a hit on the side.. The pictures may not be the best but it appears that the rim of the coin is uniform until you get to the raised portion. I can easily catch my fingernail on raised portion and looks to me as if there is extra metal in that spot. It just caught my eye and I kept the coin but if you guys think it is nothing more than post mint damage I will put it in the vending machine.

The reeding looks OK...not smashed or flattened...the raised portion follows the curvature of the coin...not deformed. I agree that it is a Cud. KK |

What a rim Cud you may ask?  Note on the image on the right:This is a Die Cud. A corner area has broken off the die, leaving a void. Note the image on the left back image:This is a die crack on a die. Note the line on the die? This void will leave a raised area on the coins struck with this die. The void on a crack/chip/break/cud always fills in because of the coin. Note the lower front image: This is a simulation of the back image, but I wanted to show how the rim would raise higher on the void area there because of the die breaking away on that area. Thus on a rim Cud, it will be higher than the rest of the rim, because of the void on the die. Thus this coin is a rim Cud as John1 is correctly pointing out. Not damage to the coin. (Which could happen, but not in this case) Why not? A hit/damage to a coin creates an incuse mark on one area and a raised area is created distorted on a coin. This is not distorted, but a copy of the void when that area was chipped off the die on the gutter area. CoopHome: How is a rim Cud created? a chip on the gutter area on a die |

Thank you Coop for the picture explaining what causes a rim Cud. It was very informative. I've been looking at my pocket change for years mainly looking for silver and this was the first time I ever noticed anything like this on a coin. I figured It had to be some type of mint error but wasn't 100% sure. Greg |

to the CCF. JimmyD has it right. Your coin has taken a hit on the edge. You can see the reeds have been flattened. If it was a Cud the top wouldn't be reeded. |

I am wondering if the folks saying that it is post mint damage just want me to spend it so they can find it in their change some day  JK. I am going to hang on to this quarter. I sometimes collect coins that peak my curiosity regardless of whether they are valuable to other collectors or not. I didn't start collecting coins as a kid to get rich. It was just something I found interesting. -Greg |

I agree with it being a rim Cud. The fourth image shows a lite die crack along the rim that continues north (towards the L of LIBERTY). Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
