Unknown Date Die Cud?

So this is the front of the coin... which I think is a die cud




This is the back of the coin.

Looks it to me.

 

Additional Info: I dug a bit deeper to see what coin this could be... the closest year I got was 1989...

 

You're not going to find out the date on this one.

 

Are those two areas raised?

 

Excellent!
It's a part of the Die that Breaks off. They call it a Cud.

 

The Obverse is raised because the metal flows into the void of the broken die. The reverse is a weakness that results as the opposite side is affected. That is a negative Cud.. (I just made that up)

 

Both sides look lower to me. And the edge is curved but straight. Can't say I've ever seen a cud like this so trying to understand.

A negative cud. That's new but I like it.

 

@paddyman98 Can you give us a acronym for that negative cud?

 

Raised in front, a little incuse in back because of so much material at the front.

 

If you go to cuds on coins they will often have the progression and the early states will have a year. You want to match the edge position EXACTLY to confirm it's that specific coin.

Unfortunately a lot of work to go through all the possible years.

 

DUP - I hate debounce

 

UNCUD!

 

I searched at cuds an coins... and that is why I said its a 1989... because there is vartiaty called
CU-1c-1989-01

 

Similar but that's not it.

And it's just a reference number not a variety.
Cuds are mint errors and there is a difference.
