Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3078 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 6:30 pm I purchased this nice, circulated 1898 Barber quarter a couple of years ago. I took it out today and examined it under magnification. On the reverse I noticed a blob of metal at the base of the D in UNITED that goes up to the beginning of the ribbon with E PLURIBUS UNUM on it. I have checked the other Barber quarters in my collection and there is nothing there in this spot. Is this a Cud of some sort? I'm sure it's nothing major, but it is interesting. Thanks for any help rendered. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 20339 Posts	Posted 05/05/2025 6:46 pm Agree that it is a die chip, not a Cud. A Cud is a break on the rim of the die. Report this Post to the Staff
