mrak Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 12:13 pm Pretty sure this is a Cud covering the top portion of "IN" but since its edges are fairly rough and there is other obvious PMD on the coin thought worth seeing what others thought. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 12:21 pm Looks like a Cud. What does the reverse look like? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 1:44 pm Might be a Cud or something like solder? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
mrak Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 3:19 pm Few more pics. The "E" in E Pluribus is the opposing side. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 3:54 pm Well the reverse does show a weak strike behind the Cud on the obverse. (I don't think it is solder - there is no seam at the edge. But the portion on the fields does appear to have an irregular appearance to it. Collecting since 1972.

mrak Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 4:32 pm Yes, that's the part I was questioning. Most Cuds that I have seen tend to be smooth and not ragged like this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 4:55 pm There seems to be quite a bit of coin Rolling Machine Damage. You can see it above Jefferson's ear, through Liberty, the tip of his collar, around his face. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15394 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 7:11 pm I'm not convinced this is a Cud - same suspicions as others have. The surfaces of a Cud are generally smooth due to the planchet metal filling the void in the die break. There might be circulation wear but I've never seen a Cud with the ragged appearance of this one. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 06/05/2023 7:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/07/2023 6:02 pm I think this may be a circulation hit that displaced the metal of the rim. As noted, most Cuds show as a smooth raised area on one side with weakness on the opposite side, due to a loss of pressure, Here's a detail of a Cud nickel showing both.
