1988 reverse cud cent -

Here is my new 1988 cent with reverse cud. It was found at the Willimantic coin show last weekend.

Thanks for letting me share.



Please post 'em if you got 'em.

I would like to see a better close-up of the break on the rim. It's clear enough to see in the field, but I don't see how it has affected the rim.

nice

 

Here are some close-up photos of the reverse cud at the rim. The photos are shot through a 30x microscope using white light illumination. The 3D image viewing through the binocular microscope is really cool. Obviously, you miss out on the 3D image in this photograph.

(1) I am curious about what you are inspecting on this coin at the rim (so please let me know). (2) I am surprised you didn't ask to see more detail regarding the die file marks below the Lincoln monument.




This 1988 reverse cud is unlisted in The Cud Book by Sam Thurman & Arnold Margolis.

 

OMG the cud is growing under the microscope!

 

You should get in touch with BJ over at cuds-on-coins.com so that he can list these.

 

Now I'm curious, what's a reverse cud?

 

It is a cud on the reverse side, but this is not a cud. There is no break on the rim.

So a cud on the reverse.

 

I may be wrong, but I think this is some kind of PMD. What confuses me is that a break this massive should show more zinc than copper.

I'm not sure I'm following you Chris.

 

I'm not sure I'm following you Chris.

 

Once again, I have no idea why this forum(and only this forum) posts things multiple times.

 

There can be no doubt that this is a cud (marginal die break). The design rim is gone. What you're interpeting as the design rim is persistence of the proto-rim that was present on the unstruck planchet.

 

Very nice!

 

Interesting! Thanks!
