Question about reverse on 2007 cent

[asksmk-migration]

I have a 2007 P cent with what I believe is a cud error that looks extremely similar to the one in this image:

 

 

Is this in fact a cud error?

What value would this kind of error coin have?

 

TIA

I don't think "cud" is the appropriate term. It looks like an internal die-break.

Welcome to the forum. I believe it is a break in the anvil die

Submit it to NGC and have them attribute the error type, ie, cud, die break etc. Very interesting.

A cud starts on the edge of a coin. James is right on the money. There is really no premium for these type of die chips.

Thanks so much!!

Please help me understand this better.

The 1857 FE cent S-16 has a cud in the wing.

What's the meaning of retained cud?

This thread just looked like a great place to ask and learn.

A cud can be a raised lump of metal on a coin caused by a piece of a die having broken off. 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. A cud may be either a retained cud, where the faulty piece of the die is still in place, or a full cud, where the piece of the die has fallen away. Retained cuds usually have dentil detail if on the edge, while full cuds do not.

 

Most cuds are seen on the rims of coins, one of the easiest places for a die to break during production, but not limited to this area.

 

A die chip is a small fragment broken off from a die. Metal flowing into the resulting hole during striking results in a small raised lump on the surface of the coin. Nothing of real significance so to speak of, so no premuim is attained.

 

A more learned person in errors should come along soon enough and clairfy this even further...till then this has to do.

Thanks.
