Error CUD | If this is a cud on the obverse, it's the smallest one I ever found.

I found this one last night while roll searching. It doesn't look like any cud I have ever seen before but it's not rim damage. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hey Mark! It looks like the metal has torn from the rim and folded over and has stuck to the coin. I've seen one like this before and that stuck piece was stuck like it had superglue on it... but of course didn't

That you very much for taking the time to check it out VIV. I had never come across one before. SEE, I learned more again today!!

You are welcome Mark! Hey your photos are looking great!!! Let's see what the guys think but I think I see where the rim has reduced in size and is taking a step down right where that blob of metal is.

I agree with Viv, definitely looks like damage. One thing that tends to make these types look like errors is time and wear. They will get smoothed over and look like it was part of the minting process. One of the biggest misattributed damages I've seen are knifed coins that have been smoothed over with simple time and wear. I tried to find a better example but couldn't. Check out the nose.

Thank you very much for all the information. Your knowledge of error coins is incredible.

I'm in with PSD which is not an error... Notice, on pic 3, the coins edge there has an indentation, most likely from a hit, and the rim itself appears concave... There is a gap between the metal and the rim itself plus the metal is still attached at both ends... Due to circ wear it only appears to be longer than the missing section of the rim... I could over anal eyes a lot more on this but that would be a little to much of Hope that helps a bit!!!
