Pulled this out of a box last night. Very minor cud but still a keeper in my book! Everyone enjoy!!!

Looks like a rim cud. Nothing on the die is affected yet.

 

nice find!

 

I'm looking at a double rim or false rim and maybe and old finned rim that was smoothed out over so much time that makes it look like a cud.

 

An old finned rim would fold over and smooth out like in this area of your Cent

 

The double line on that area is called a collar clash. The raised area is a rim cud coming from a break in the collar making the rim cud.

 

I believe a collar clash is the term used only on reeded coins such as dimes. This is a slight MAD. This is a double rim. Finning, and a horizontal misalignment can all be present as part of the same compound error.

 

A nice find, but I think paddyman98 is correct. It is a double rim, but I don't think you can call it a collar clash.
