cool find. I am of the opinion that Cud's are fairly rare, for all coin types. I didnt even know that they existied, until I found one (a nickel) while roll searching. I have only seen photos, other that the one I found. I also found my same coin, photograhed in an article. i like them. nice find.  (scan/photo of my nickel) |

Both nice adds. Strange how they sort of grow on you.
I normally I have something odd in an airtight in my pocket. Just to keep it from being spent, or mixed/damaged by the rest. It works great to show co-workers or friends what type you are looking for. Most people will generally want to help you with your collection when they see a good example.
Congrats

Thanks to all! This is only the second Cud that I've found. I found a 1983P LMC "REVERSE" Cud in May of last year. From what I understand, most Cuds are on the obverse, so a reverse Cud is more harder to find. Its listed by Thurman & Margolis as LC-83-49R.   |

I found a Cud on a wisconsin State Quarter. On the reverse. It was chewed on. Cows like doing that. |

It could be from the same die. Find markers that are on your coins and compare to see if they are on both coins in the same place. I guessing the OP's coin is a later die state as the chipping continued on the devices on TRUST.

What are 'Cuds", When a broken piece of a split die completely separates from the die and falls away, the result is commonly called a "cud." Because of a lack of pressure, the planchet metal flows into the broken area of the die, creating a weakened image on the opposite side of the coin. To qualify as a genuine Cud, the die break must occur on the edge of the die shank itself, thereby leaving a blob-like spot on the struck coin. |
