to the CCF.

Everyone is throwing numismatic terms at you - so lets start with a basic description:

A Cud appears on a coin when a portion of the die adjacent to the rim cracks, separates and fails. Then when the coin is struck the missing portion of the failed die fills with metal that should have been a part of the normal design.

Since there is only a fixed amount of metal in any planchet, the coins surface directly the Cud locations is starved of metal and always appears as a depressed surface.

Your photos are too small in size for me to see many of these details in strong resolution - but you should be able to see them for yourself.

If I may, I think a word was left out that would help to make this sentence read better.

@Dearborn - thank you for the addition, it is what I was thinking but somehow the thought did not get to my fingers.

Your version is accurate.

I missed this one when it was posted, what a great coin! Superb Cud and in great shape. No way to put an absolute value on something this rare and desirable, but Pretty sure this one would go somewhere north of $350 and maybe a fair ways north of that.
