<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3387993, member: 27832&quot;]Ah, right, and I can see how you&#039;d think that. Cuds do sort of look like that lump at the bottom of your dime&#039;s obverse. But in your third image, you can see that the lump is <i>lower</i> than the rest of the coin&#039;s rim, and has scuff marks across it. Those facts, combined with the dents and dings on the rest of the coin, indicate that this is just damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the cent, you&#039;ve probably read about &quot;woody&quot; cents that have streaks where their alloy wasn&#039;t mixed properly. Those cents don&#039;t have swirling patterns like this one, though. Cents stained by liquid do. It&#039;s still fun to see, though; I don&#039;t come across many cents with tiger stripes!</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to CoinTalk![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
