Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 4:14 pm Hello all I found this roll hunting today... I'm sure someone knows what it is. It appears to have additional metal on it like a blob and does not appear to be PMD. Worth keeping to trade as I dont collect errors? Pic is just a quick scan... let me know if a better pic is worth my time if it is just a common error. --Moved to "Modern US Variety & Error Coins" by Staff Report this Post to the Staff

Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 6:10 pm There is a spot of weakness on the reverse, so it must be a Cud error... if you dont mind my asking, what is a Cud? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 6:17 pm A Cud is a specific type of die break affecting the face and shank of a die and it is an indicator of a die near the point of failure. Since the shank of a die must be affected, all Cuds will emanate from the rim towards the center of the coin, anything else is a common die chip or a less-common interior die break. When the coin is struck, the planchet fills the void in the die and that is how you get a "blob" of metal. Since part of the obverse die is broken away, the two dies do not create a full opposing force against each other- that is the source of the opposite side weakness.

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 6:40 pm Nice! I also found a 1982 LMC with the same Cud on it. People call this one an atheist Cud, because it blocks out the word 'GOD'. Edited by robbudo 06/28/2010 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 8:29 pm If you check on the reverse opposite the Cud you should see the weakness everyone is talking about. Here is an example to compare with: Note the mark on the reverse at 6:00? Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 06/29/2010 7:37 pm I just got The Cud Book by Thurman & Margolis. The 1983 is listed as LC-83-67. The 1982 is listed as LC-82 LD-5 Cu. Edited by robbudo 06/29/2010 7:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
