coop was explaining that on the opposite side of the Cud, you will see weakness on the coin. In this case where STATES is, but it is cut off in the picture. If you look at it, it should be weakly struck compared to the other letters.

Since there is a piece of the obverse die missing, there is less pressure there for the reverse to fully strike up.

most " Cuds" seem to be on the obverse,

Most Cuds occur on the "hammer" die which ever that one is (Sometimes obv, sometimes rev.) The reason for this is the hammer die does not have anything aroud it so if a piece of the die breaks off ther is nothing to hold it in place and it falls away creating the Cud. If a piece of the anvil die breaks away the collar tends to hold it in place so it can't fall out. So the anvil die tends to have more Retained Cuds than the hammer die.
