<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 3449039, member: 15445&quot;]The OPs 1960 cent reminded me of this real mint error from Brazil.&nbsp; I posted this 1948 Brazil 20 centavos at CT a couple years ago. The obverse design is either Mr. Rui Barbosa or Groucho Marx. That is an ongoing debate.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]916014[/ATTACH] </p><p>Apparently, the obverse die was at one time misaligned to the right far enough that the obverse die was hitting/scraping against the collar. This contact with the collar apparently caused the edge of the obverse die to be shaved away (down to the middle of the peripheral lettering). The obverse die was then apparently reseated correctly in the press and was used to continue making coins.&nbsp; Those subsequent coins are like my example with the thick rim (cud) that extends to the middle of the obverse lettering. Mike Diamond remarked a couple years back that this is a &quot;die attrition error&quot;.&nbsp; I call it a cud.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for not posting the reverse photo.&nbsp; The reverse is perfectly centered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
