<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1572016, member: 24633&quot;]A cud is a break along the rim of the die that extends into the field, and the OP&#039;s coin was not the result of &quot;a bit of metal from a previous coin pressed into it&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a die chip, pure and simple. To form the center of a letter or number, there has to be a &quot;post&quot; of metal on the die to keep it from filling with planchet metal. It is not unusual for this &quot;post&quot; to break off, allowing the planchet metal to fill the void.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
