The CUD near liberty cause the die to misalign a bit. Small details are left behind. These are associated, and uniform, with most letters in "in God we trust". So it is NOT clad over zinc issue. There is doubling on the bowtie as well. In fact, the top and bottom remnant of an "S" can be visualized.
Hi Imho, I don’t see any doubling of any kind. The cud looks more like the start of lamination peel from the crack. (Not a cud). Wouldn’t a cud be much larger and thicker covering an area? Let’s hear what the experts say.
The thickness of the cud really depends on the damage to the die. It does look thin, and could be lamination? It is a raised surface though, and it appears to have caused some doubling issues. (I know there are common issues with zinc coins, that fact does not elude me). Lol The issues correlate with most lettering devices, and not elsewhere. Fyi, I cant match the shape/font of the "s". I just put an s to illustrate the concept.
Come up with another explanation for the anomaly in "GOD" and maybe I'll listen. Until then, you are so full of it that your eyes are brown! Chris
obviously you dont know what a cud is and that copper plated zinc cents cannot have lamination issues...
They can have lamination issues. A well respected person on coin community put out his extensive research on it. It just has to take place on the copper and not involve the zinc. A cud is a die break that goes from rim to rim. It is when a piece of the die breaks and leaves a raised copper surface on the struck coin, where the broken die was. The cud can be large or small, depending on the size of the die break. Any other assistance that I can provide? Thanks!
ummm no, 20 micron thick electroplated copper cent is not an alloy and therefore cannot have lamination issues.. well at least you know how to use google search...
no no no Wow dude.. You just proved to us that you have absolutely no knowledge of true mint errors.. Take it from me.. Coin mint error specialist for 34 years! Your Cent is pure garbage!
