92 Lincoln cent

I took a photo of this 92 Lincoln because I liked the toning on the reverse and I was going to post it on Phoenix21s thread "Post some Lincolns". After taking the picture I noticed the (CUDS?) above the US of A. I then scanned it to see if I could see them better. My question is about the items circled in red. The yellow circle is a die crack.

The Obverse is unremarkable for the year.

Here are the two images. Is that what I'm looking at? CUDS

Thanks!

The one on the 'C' looks like a die chip, the others look like die deterioration.

 

It's a die break in yellow and plating split doubling in the others. Very common on the copper plated zinc cents and often mistaken for RPM's.

 

Thank you very much for the help!
