Error CUD | 1949S 2 small CUDs?

[grnwavdav]

Wow, I haven't posted something in over a year. Crazy! Anyway, Do you think these are two small CUDs in this cent? The only thing throwing me in the other direction is the indentations on the rim where the CUD is. Is this typical on a CUD? The other CUD I have does not have this.

Yes - they are not cuds - I agree with pmd. Anytime you have the same kind of errors on both sides u have to become suspicious.

also the fact that the rim has damage. true cud doesn't actually effect the rim it just starts there.

[RWBILLER]

On a non-retained cud there can be rim damage and also on a retained cud. The break can go thru the rim.

Oh learn new things everyday but wouldn't that just be cud on the rim not a hole in the rim?

The way the rims are flattened on the reverse is another indicator of PSD.

Hi
In the broadest definition a cud can be anywhere a purist says it must begin/end on or through the rim. When a coin is struck by a broken die the place where the die is broken or missing will often show up as extra metal on the surface of a coin. This extra piece of metal or "cud" can be from a piece of the die being missing or a still intact, but moved.
