I have found quite a few rim cuds in my noodling but have noticed something strange;
•They have all been on the reverse
•They have all been on commemorative coins
Anyone have any theories? Or, is my sample size not large enough to be representative?
I am referring to rim cuds only on current circulation coins.
hi jeff , I have found lots of cuds , most on the reverse , but I have 2 x scout dollars 2008 and 1 x .20 cent that has the head side cud .
Here is my Rim Cud List. In case you're wondering, when the numbers across don't add up, it's because some coins have 2 rim cuds.

PS. I forgot to say that the lists I extracted this data from have not been updated since approx 2008, but I think the 5c one is current to some time last year.
That's a larger sample than mine and mine are only $1, 50¢ and 20¢.
Well from that list it looks like reverse rim cuds outnumber obverse rim cuds about 3:1.
Do you have any record of how many are commemoratives and how many are regular coins in the $1, 50¢ and 20¢ Nancy?

Sort of, but that would take me a bit longer to put together. May be able to do it a bit later on. :winkextra:

It shouldn't matter.
I'm still half-asleep and a bit foggy, but rim cuds are collar breaks, no? So it shouldn't matter what reverse dies are loaded.
I agree with you Jeff in relation to the $1 coins. Both the commemorative 2001's have them (although there's no MOR to compare with). Likewise the 2002 & 2003.
Perhaps the dies around that era weren't checked as often?
Here is some more detailed data. I realised I had duplicates of some of the $1 ones, so have added them in as well. The numbers in the Dupes column is in addition to the others already listed.
If I ever get all the Rim Cud data updated, I'll try to remember to update the info here, but can't promise anything. :angel:
