<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 297723, member: 1242&quot;]IMHO, an overlapping rim Cud (let&#039;s say on the Obverse) would result in stronger strike on the Reverse in direct relation to the Cud! This is due to the increased Die pressure on the Planchet due to the extra thickness. The rim Cud, if anything, would cause a slightly weaker strike on the remaining portion of the coin due to the Cud hindering the Die from making complete contact with the remaining surface of the Planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that it is a Rim Cud on Phoenix&#039;s Cent that has overlapped onto Lincoln&#039;s shoulder area and caused the Copper plating to bulge. I also believe that the weak Star on CappedBustDimes was the result of grease or other debris and not the result of the Cud.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I will wait to see what Mike Diamond has to say about all of these!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
