Well done on the find and the listing.
I find it interesting that a
Cud this size didn't create an issue on the obverse with metal flow like Nickelsearcher suggested. It seems there should have been weakness around the obverse rim from k2 to k4 though since this area would be opposite the right wheat.
Maybe the die metal in the area of the
Cud was displaced enough to show the
Cud but not enough to interfere with the metal flow.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
