    muster - a gathering, especially of troops, for inspection

    Yes, that coin passes the cud muster (inspection).

    Must a cud be on the rim of a coin? Can it be further in with no contact with the rim?

    A cud must include the rim. A cud is formed when a portion of the die breaks off (which MUST include a portion of the rim).

    So what would it be called if you have a die break and a piece of the die breaks away that's not near the rim, leaving a blob on the coin?
    Edit to add: Could it be called a retained die cud?

    You may be speaking of a die chip. When a hunk of a die breaks and falls off it usually includes the rim (which would result in a cud).

    I has just wondering because Rick Snow list an 1857 cent (S-16) as having a cud in the eagles neck.
