Did I find a baby CUD on this 1945D? It took a hit in that area but not sure it was enough of a hit to move that much metal!! As always, opinions welcome!!! Thanks!!!
Yes it took a hit in that area but the hit wasn’t enough to make me think that is anything other than a cud or baby cud I should say. Nice find.
Here we go... I will probably get push-back, but anyhoo... I understand cuds to be caused by die breaks. Your coin shows post mint foreign object impact which excludes it from being a cud.
On enlargement it appears to be the same size and shape of the damaged area to the rim, which was folded over and smoothed out with use and wear.
