    What is the verdict with this 42d Mercury Dime (blob above the B)?

    A cud is when a piece of the die (including the rim) breaks off.
    Forming a blank area.

    But I disagree, not a cud.

    Again, look at the rim, is it pushed in?

    No, it is not. The rim is still intact and there is more "pushed in" than there was rim to begin with.

    BTW, I used my computer's scanner to make this pic. Works pretty good.
