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

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

 

+1 for PMD hit.

 

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

 

When you going to show that cud nickel you got

 

I like your quarter

 

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.

 

Never saw a both side cud. Thanks for showing.

 

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.
