Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:25 pm I'm sure this will spark a little debate—thx for posting. Looks like a die chip involving the rim, so my vote is to call it a Cud. I'm interested to see where we net out on this one though.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 10:43 pm To make for a good argument, I'll vote for die chip, Cuds should be higher than the rim - this is lower than it.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 2:13 pm Use a toothpick on that area. If it falls off, it is grease/crud that is sticking to the coin. If it remains then it might be a die chip. (Could also be part of both?) Anything is possible in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
