I was going through some of my nickels and I don't know why I didn't catch it years ago, but I have a 1939 nickel with a Cud. Has anyone came across this as I haven't been able to find any info.   *** Edited by Staff to crop/rotate/resize images.

@gab, first welcome to CCF. Second, since by definition a Cud must involve the rim, that doesn't appear to be a Cud to me. However, I'm not 100% sure what you've got there. I'm interested to see what others think. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 To CCF! It's not a Cud, but something else. Could it be glue, solder, or an adhesive? A big Die Chip? Not sure what it is.  Errers and Varietys.

E and V,
I thought the same thing when I initially looked at it. When I put it under the scope, it looks like it's been there ever since the coin was produced.

Can you please post the weight? If it is solder then I think this amount of material would likely more than offset that lost to circulation wear.

This looks like it could be a small lamination.

to the CCF If it was a weird shaped die chip, I would think we would have seen it by now. What ever it is, as you say it's been on there a long time. My guess is solder. |

Sorry for the delayed response. I weighed 4 other 1939 1939 nickels as they weighed 4.95, 4.77 and 4.82. the coin in question comes in at 4.78. Here's a close up picture of the area. I'v placed a red arrow where there's a continuous line that runs through.   |

The last of your pics show some extra meterial. The Cuds you talk first do noe exist. The weight it is in parameters for 1939 Nikel. |

Looking at the new pictures, I'm going to stick with solder. The added weight of the solder could be offset by wear. The spot in the solder is a gas bubble and the solder would be shinier and smother than the surrounding metal from being polished from circulation.
