onecoinshort New Member Australia 4 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 01:11 am Hi, I have a 2005 WW2 Coming Home 20 cent coin that I would like some information about. Underneath the TH of Elizabeth, there appears to be an extra strand of the Queens hair that shoudln't be there. It is raised slightly higher than her other strands of hair. Would just like to know why something like this would occur. (Other than the Queen having a bad hair day) I have attached a couple of photos for reference. Thanks!

airgem Valued Member Australia 369 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 2:15 pm Just to clear up any confusion, Americans call this a die chip. In Australia we call it a Cud. Not particularly rare but not common either. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 12/11/2022 6:14 pm Agree; a die chip / Cud. Unless Cuds appear to form something odd or interesting (like the "rabbit ears" or "spew roo" dollars) that might cause high demand, it adds minimal value. I don't think a hair lump would qualify as "odd or interesting". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
