<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4802954, member: 105098&quot;]I think it&#039;s meant to look like a cud, it&#039;s not a cud. doctored coin in my opinion and it&#039;s added metal. no idea what the silverish areas around the added metal or on the reverse are suppsoed to be. If it was a cud there would be much more weakness on the reverse opposite the cud.</p><p>it also connects to the rim but if a true cud it should also interrupt the rim otherwise, a die really doesn&#039;t break like this appears.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a professional but I&#039;d call it post mint damage and suspect from what I&#039;m seeing. Maybe done with a brass or bronze repair putty???? Not sure. possibly the silverish areas are where the putty was at some point before putting some work on it, also I don&#039;t like the lines on this supposed cud following a mechanical pattern clockwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039; just looks really wrong for what I would expect to see if legit to me, again, not a professional, just my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
