<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 63673, member: 1242&quot;]I have sold and still have coins with cud errors or whatever you want to call them! Many of the extra pieces of metal on them were pressed partially into the coin but were not part of the coin and were not produced from a crack, hole or imperfection of one of the dies. I have also had coins with cuds that were pieces of metal that never got detached from the planchet, that got folder over the rim onto the surface of the coin and caused weak strike errors on the opposite side of the coin and these were not produced by a crack, hole or other imperfection in the die. I still have a 1999-P Lincoln Memorial Cent that has a piece of the lower roof trim that separated from the Memorial Building that twisted in a half moon shape and got pressed back into coin. Now, if these are not cud errors then you tell me what the heck you would call them??!! Would you call these Struck Thru Errors, Partial Brockage Errors or both?? Why do many Coin Collectors, Dealers and even some Professionals call the &quot;BIE&quot; Error which is found on thousands and thousands of Lincoln Cents a Cud Error when by your definitions, many aren&#039;t Cud Errors and are in fact extra pieces of metal from other coins that got struck into the coin??!! I grant you, that some of these extra pieces of metal were caused by a crack, hole or other imperfection in the die but some are not. A piece of metal that gets stuck in a crack, hole or other imperfection on the die and then gets attached to the coin in the minting process, does not cause weak strike errors on the opposite side of the coin unless it falls off the die and falls onto the coin (being minted) in some location other than the area of the crack, hole or imperfection in the die. However, a piece of metal that gets onto the planchet somewhere in the process of producing the planchets up through the striking (minting) process, does cause weak strike errors on the opposite side of the coin. So what do you call this piece of metal on the coin?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
