That's NOT a rim Cud! A rim Cud is a Cud that ONLY affects the rim. Those have little or no premium value. Yours is a full blown Cud! Very nice! ALL Cuds are along the rim, you do not use the word 'rim' with ' Cud' unless it only affects the rim. |

I have an 84 in the same location, actually looks like mine except the date, awesome find. Just seems to me that people have noticed it quite a few times since 1980 but just let it slip through their fingers.

Sweet find. Also looks like it's got a nice wood grain.

It is indeed a Cud. I did some research on the word Cud in the past and a likely reason for the use of the word pertains to ruminants, like cows that chew there Cud (partially digested food). Occasionally, a ruminant will spit up the Cud leaving a nice blob of material on the ground. It was thought that the resemblance to the definition of the word Cud as it pertains to a cow along with the concept, in the case of a cow, of a blob of material on the ground, and in the case of a coin, on the surface of the coin (error) that the similarity between the two led to the use of Cud as a descriptive term for the blob of metal seen on these types of coins.

I can't find anything better for a definition. I had always thought it was an acronym for something, but couldn't come up with anything better than "Cracked Up Die" to explain this odd three letter combination used to describe this error.

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party.. Quote:Del Ford published the term " Cud" in "U.S. Major and Minor Mint Errors". In his explanation, he indicated that the error looked like a chew or Cud of tobacco. This term is now commonly used by numismatic error coin collectors. ... Mort Goodman spent over five years researching and collecting this variety of error. He finally settled on the following definition for the error. "An abnormally raised area of metal, on the field or design of a numismatic product, involving the edge of the die and caused by a broken die". - The Cud BookSam Thurman and Arnold Margolis, NLG Yours is Code LC-80-3 (Lincoln Cent, 1980, #3 in the list). Nice one! The funny part with these Cud codes is they include the full four-digit date prior to 1900, but after that only used the last 2 digits because "it is assumed that the '19' is understood". Apparently they didn't think we'd all still be here after the year 2000  |

Just seems to me that people have noticed it quite a few times since 1980 but just let it slip through their fingers I found a Cud last night covering IN GOD on an AU 1984. I'm going thru a batch of hand rolled from the bank and 80% of the coins are minty uncirculated from the 80's. Somebody emptied the penny jar after 20 yrs. I don't think I've enjoyed roll searching as much as I have these past 12-15 months. Lots of great stuff showing up. Rock |

Rock, Iagree. I am in the samt arena. I notice that there are a very large amount of '70' showing up. I am still in the 'sorting process, so the Cud hunt will come a bit later. There are two more boxes to go. BTW, customer wrapped coins have been very heavy on the 2000 area, Nothing before the '90's. Anothe Cud hunter? Dick |
