[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2988374, member: 24633"][USER=73995]@Pickin and Grinin[/USER] First, a cud is a break along the rim that extends into the field. There are some error collectors who believe that a cud can be a break on the rim alone, but I'm old school. Die cracks can be found just about anywhere on a coin and can even extend through the devices onto the rim. As for the anomaly on your UT SQ, I have a few dozen of these that came from a Mint bag. I haven't figured out what may have caused it, so I've been loathe to even mention it in the past.
