<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 996714, member: 11521&quot;]A cud is a raised blob of metal on a coin and is created when a coin is struck by a die where a portion of the die has broken and fallen away. A cud includes the rim (so a small die chip in the center of a coin is not a cud).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The cud is raised because there is no die to resist the movement of metal. It is somewhat like squeezing a balloon - squeeze the balloon in one area and it expands out in another area where the balloon is not constrained.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
