<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 381538, member: 4367&quot;]I think it&#039;s more of a rim-ding than a cud.&nbsp; A cud is when a portion of the (deteriorating) die breaks away (usually near the edge) and the planchet is not struck in that area.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since the Bust Half Dollar Series was struck without collar/s the evidence of a legitimate cud has yet to be proven.&nbsp; One must realize, if such a catastrophic die failure event were to have occurred the resulting coin would have been misshapen and subsequently tossed back into the melting pot and a new die grabbed.&nbsp; While there were cracks, chips, and die errors no &#039;cuds&#039; have ever confirmed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care Buddy</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
