<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1419495, member: 66&quot;]I admit I only have the second edition of Grellman, but in it he makes no mention of cuds in an early die state.&nbsp; The only cud he mentions for the obv of 52 N-11 is the one that forms in the late state and it forms before the reverse cud forms and is present on all examples with rev cud.&nbsp; He does say the obv cud can be faint and hard to see at times.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes you can.&nbsp; If the cud is a rim cud and very shallow it would be possible to put the die back in the lathe and shave the rim down.&nbsp; (effectively making the rim a little higher.) So it could be possible to remove a rim cud.&nbsp; Think of it like a die chip in the field.&nbsp; Grind down the field and the chip goes away.&nbsp; Grind down the field too much and some of the design goes away&nbsp; As in a buffalos foreleg. (You&#039;ve just &quot;fixed&quot; a hole in the die.)&nbsp; Would they go to that kind of trouble?&nbsp; I don&#039;t think so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
