    Cud. Caused by a retained die break.

    Cud makes sense. It almost looks like it is ready to fall off the coin.

    Treashunt is Frank, and he identified it correctly, retained cud.

    FYI:

    The cud occurs when the part of the die falls away and there is no detail from the die struck.

    Retained cud . . . in this case, the portion of the die that broke off has shifted, but not fallen away, and still impresses the planchet, although not as deeply as the die does.

    You should email the guys over at cuds-on-coins.com. I'm sure they'd like to add this one to their retained cuds listing.
