[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 679494, member: 4350"]Sorry, but it is not a CUD. I enlarged the pictures and took a close look. here is why it is not a CUD. The metal is different than that of the dime. The color is different. The opposite side of the coin where the blob is should be distrorted and weak since there should have been no resistance against the obverse die when the coin was struck due to the die on the reverse being broken away at that point. You can see that the obverse is perfect with no corresponding weakness. There is a little "tab" visible on the edge that you can see sticking out in the picture of the obverse. All these things point to this coin having been soldered onto something and having been broken off. It's not a CUD, the metal is solder of some kind and we see this fairly regularly. Thanks, Bikll[/QUOTE]
