Bicentennial Quarter Cud?

I took this bicentennial quarter to a local "numismatist" and they said they had no idea what was going on with this one. Looks like a cud to me, can anyone confirmor help me figure out what I'm looking at?

I'm no professional numismatist by any means, but I would say perhaps that's just a die chip.

 

Small Die chip. very common area .

 

Just so I know the thought process, what makes you think that vs a cud? I'm a dummy so every bit of insight is helpful lol

 

From my novice experience with coin errors and such, a cud is usually at the rim of a coin.

And like they say on this forum frequently, Google is your friend, and this is the reason why......I found this in less than 10 seconds using google:

 

Yep

 

I did google it, I've spent a week trying to figure out what it could be lol else I would not have posted it here. I appreciate the information, thank you!

 

Welcome aboard The CT Train. I hope you enjoy the ride.

 

It's all about buzz words. What is a cud on a coin? What is a die chip on a coin? Punch those words into the search engine and you'll have more than enough information before long.

 

It's a very small die chip. A cud must be on the rim.

 

A cud is a break along the rim that extends into the field.

Interpreting your local numismatist: Oh crap! I should change my sign. "I DON'T DO ERRORS!"

 

That's a nice one.

 

Thanks

 

Welcome to CT @RabbiSchmooley. Hope you enjoy the ride here and learn a lot, as you did with this post I am sure.

 

This is exactly it lol they don't do slabbing or grading either

 

I will have to give these keywords a try. I'm determined to be a collector lol be forewarned, my posts will probably become commonplace for a time

 

Surprisingly, most dealers don't do errors because they are too time consuming. Not to worry, though! We have one of the foremost error dealers in the country, here, as a member.....Fred Weinberg. You can find his store online, too.

 

That's awesome! Im so glad I stumbled on this site, I was beginning to lose hope lol

 

Just bear with us. We have short tempers and a strange sense of humor but we're willing to help if you're willing to listen.
