Error CUD | Error cud 1990 with large cud on obverse above Lincoln's head.

Hello guys, my questions are starting with the cud on Lincoln's head, I'm trying to figure out if those shinny dots on the cud are tops of letters and numbers?also, would the words not covered by the cud, ( In Rust) be categorized as a like, In God we rust example? And three,on the reverse of the coin, I seem to see doubling on a few of the words, to make it a D/D/R?, And lastly, the other way to tell the cud, is on it's other side, there will be a lot of missing metal that was used in the cud? And those are my thoughts, so could you please look into this matter for me, to get a better understanding of what I'm looking at, to get better determining the definition of the words of coins, and I want to thank anyone who wants to help me with identifying what I have, in advance. Thanks guys jks.coincents.

It is a big cud.
You are correct that the missing details on the rev are because of the cud.
It is not a DDR.
The dots are probably plating bubbles.

Think of a cud as like you are a caveman using a stone hammer (the obv die in this case) and a chip along the edge breaks off.
The be a cud it needs to include the edge like yours so yours is a cud. The words not covered/missing were not in the part that broke off so they are still there.

Very nice find, that is a very cool CUD!! I did not see it on CUDs on Coins, so it could be a new listing. There is one found by one of ours members (Larry), that may be a very early stage of yours. Check out 02.

Your terminology is correct. That's a really nice find. These are popular on ebay and usually command decent premiums.

Cud: A rim to rim die break, resulting in a piece of the die breaking off and falling out. The coins struck by such a die will exhibit a “blob” of raised metal along the rim where the normal design element should be. Cuds are always connected to the rim, else they are called interior die breaks. Due to the missing chunk in the die, the opposite side of the coin will exhibit a weakly struck area as shown in the 3rd photo below.

Atheist Cent: A colloquial term for a cent with a cud which covers the word God in the motto. Photos courtesy of forum member Joel.

Thanks for the explanation of cuds, and the D/D/R mistake on my part, it's all good, Ed, and if you don't mind me asking, why GumpyEd, you don't sound or seem grumpy, Lol. Thanks again Sir.

Thanks for the terminology update, and I will look at cuds-on-coins.com for more information about cuds, and also the link to the site where i can get a prospective on the covered up word GOD, to make sure it's not offensive to the father, anyway, thank you Mr. Willbrooks, and Joel for the pictures, talk to you later.

For some strange reason, I like finding cuds...but I've not found one that big yet. Very nice!

Thanks guys, appreciate all the wonderful comments, and just to let you know, I found and find most of the coins, wheatears, etc. at the check cashing place, I always ask for three or five dollars in Penny's, and most of the time they are not 2019 at all, okay, good hunting roll searching.

Wow!!! That is an awesome one!! Nice find!
