I was wondering if this cud on the B E in liberty adds value

In my estimation, it could, but it wouldn't be a lot.
It is worth keeping.

BTW, the term cud only applies if it involves the rim. Otherwise, it's known as an interior die break or chip.

 

Not a cud, as a cud involves the rim and extends out into the field. Its a die chip between the B and E, referred to as a "BIE" penny. It does add value, probably worth $3 at least, you can check eBay sold listings to see what they have gone for recently. Just search "BIE penny."

 

thanks, love this site the knowledge is vast.

 

Yeah this site is awesome, I've learned a lot from it and continue to on a daily basis.

A CUD is associated with the rim only. It's a die chip. It add a few dollars so on s really good day, maybe worth $5.00.
