Your coin looks to match number 3 in the list of Dirty Dozen Damages:

1) discoloration - stains from coffee, or environmental damage from being buried, heated, etc.
2) scrapes over much of the coin - damage from sliding on pavement, a parking lot coin
3) coin bent or edges not round - it has been smashed with a hammer
4) coin blank on all or most of one side - someone sanded it down
5) mirrored lettering - a vise job, a coin squeezed against another in a vise
6) rough, pebbly surfaces - coin that received an acid bath
7) smooth rims, smaller diameter - has been trapped rolling inside a dryer, a " Dryer Coin"
8) clear mounds on coin - glue that has dried transparently
9) small indentations in the shape of the letter D - marks left by the impact of the reeded edge of another coin
10) large blisters - coin exposed to high heat, such as in a campfire
11) shapes, often letters or numbers, not indented or raised - Pareidolia (like animal shapes in a cloud)
12) a circular scrape just inside the rim - " Ring of Death" caused by a coin rolling machine

Don't despair! Error coins remain ready to find from circulation, but they are outnumbered by unusual looking coins that merely have been damaged. If you can imagine a way to charge an undamaged coin into one like you see, that's probably exactly what happened to it. Changes to a coin after it leaves the mint's striking chamber are considered post mint damage, or PMD, and have no premium value.

Yes definitely not a cud—just damage on this one.

This coin is showing a flattened area at the rim caused by Post Mint Damage PMD, but not a Cud.

A Cud will show an area of metal that is raised to the same level as the rim (or higher) on the side where the die break occurred and an area of weakness on the opposite side.

When the coin is struck, the metal of the planchet flows into the area that's missing on the broken die, causing the raised 'lump' on the coin. Because of this, even though the opposite die is normal, there isn't enough strike pressure to cause the metal to flow into the engraving correctly, resulting in an area of weakness.
