its not pmd because the L in liberty sinks down and that can only happen if the planchet was already a defect when being struck.

 

or retained clipped planchet.

 

and struck through an object.

 

and it looks like the Blakesley effect on the reverse.

 

That is Post Mint Damage. All of it.
No mint errors of any kind unfortunately.

 

oh. thanks for the help!

 

See, that's the nice polite way of responding. You are welcome!

 

is this a cud?

 

Looks to be a plugged hole. Altered coin. Definitely not a cud.

 

oh... I looked it up and it said a cud could have a hole on the reverse were the cud is. I don't know if that's true or not.

 

Totally incorrect. No hole on the other side.

A Cud is only on one side. It is not really a hole but a weakening on the other side of the coin. What happens is that an overused die will have a piece break off of the edge. So, when it strikes the blank planchet the metal from the planchet rises up and forms a cud on the edge of the coin. the others side opposite will look incused into the coin.

 

Here are examples of what I just explained to you..

 

OK
