jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 12:53 pm When I found this Wheat cent, I knew I would have to ask for help. I don't know a lot about " Cuds" if that's what this cent is. I searched the various sites and ended up on Cuds On Coins. The closest I found was LDB5-1955-001B 55BL+. However, this coin has way more going on than what's described on the site. Lots of cracks...almost on all devices and field. Wheat stalks look doubled as well. Thanks for your help. Sorry for all the photos......I wanted you to see how extensive the events are. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15422 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 1:06 pm I don't see a Cud, but certainly lots of die chips and die cracks. Interesting looking coin for sure. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 07/27/2023 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 1:12 pm I wasn't saying there was a Cud. I was asking for help to determine if the "globs" were Cuds or something else. The last cent that I posted with lots of die crack, I was told to check out Cuds On Coins and that's where I came up with the term. Sorry..Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15422 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 1:26 pm No apology necessary - we gladly take all questions! Cuds involve the rim and are a result of a die break that sometimes falls off or is sometimes retained - but all of them involve the rim. Your 'globs' appear to be the result of internal die breaks. I don't believe that would be classified as true Cuds but I could be wrong on that. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 2:53 pm Nice find. I wonder how much longer that die survived. Most of those cracks are in recessed areas that take a lot of pressure. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 3:13 pm That Lincoln is certainly overrun with interesting die events. FYI - I've often seen die chips in the wheat stalks referred to as "bugs." "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
