1974 D Penny - Cud or DD error Under the 7?

  1. 1974 D Penny with an excess mark right under the "7". Doesn't seem like a DD. Thoughts?

    Looks like a tiny Die Break/Chip. Not a cud nor doubled die.

    Nothing really major.

    BTW.. Cuds involve the rim and flow into the field.
    Here are examples from my collection.

    Anything else is called a Die Chip.

    Brandon, the coin you are showing is a pre-1982 cent, which was mainly copper and being a soft metal, it is easily moved when struck. I believe the 7 took a hit that flattened the leg.
    The MM appears to be from a worn die, so not an error.
    So, nothing more than wear and PMD, IMHO

    Now that I looked at it carefully I believe you are right. Clear hit! Not a die chip.

    Not a cud as they must touch the rim. To me it looks like the bottom of the 7 took and hit as it’s been flattened.

    You can't have a cud on both sides. The area on the opposite side of the coin from the cud (raised metal) will have a void area (or a lightly struck area). If you are referring to the quarter Paddyman98 has shown, the obverse has the cud, the reverse has an incuse area of missing metal.
