it's not a Cud, more likely PMD,post minting damage, something after minting.. |

I'm thinking in the line of rim Cuds but I've never seen them spread out like this.If it was just one I'd definitely say Rim Cud. |

Looks to me like the tops of letters! Could it be something crazy like a die clash from a misaligned die?

Could you show the whole coin? Those marks look indented so they could not possibly be rim Cuds. If they are indented marks, almost certainly PMD. |

If the defects are incuse, then they're probably light impressions from the letters on the reverse of another cent. Post-strike damage, in other words.

That's weird,when I first looked at the photos the marks looked raised. Now,at the suggestion they might be incuse, I see them that way. I have seen optical illusions like that, as you stare at them they change back and forth from raised to sunken. You are probably right Mike but I would have never thought of it because I was seeing them as raised! WEIRD!

No, they are incuse marks. Look at the first close-up in the second post- you can see the rim mashed into the field.

My eyes are deceiving me because they look raised to me also
