John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 06:21 am My first thought is it's a rim Cud,second guess is a folded over finned rim. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 08:03 am John's first thought is correct. This is a rim Cud. These occur when bits and pieces of the edge of the die crack and fall off. And no, the rim Cud has nothing to do with the gashes (hits) on the coat. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 09:40 am Just curious. Any way possible that this effect could of happened during the upsetting stage and not on the strike ? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 12:11 pm No, the rim upsetting is completely separate. A piece of the die cracked and literally fell off leaving a void that creates the Cud. Any imperfections from the upsetting process would be flattened out during striking.

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 1:48 pm Thanks guys! My first impression was actually Cud, but I thought I would check with you first. That's got to be the smallest Cud I've ever seen! Report this Post to the Staff
timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 3:15 pm So, it has twins out there? Is that the way Cud works? Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 3:32 pm Should have. Once that piece of the die is gone - it's gone! Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 4:00 pm Yes, Cuds will continue to be cranked out in an ever-enlarging manner as the die chips away until the press operator changes out the die. Rims Cuds are fairly minor but do have some value. Larger Cuds that affect significant portions of a face are where the real money is at. Report this Post to the Staff
