Thanks OCC, it has taken a lot of work to put all those pics up. I've been at it slowly for the last 8 years.

What is a cud: It is a bump or extra material that one might find on the rim od a coin. it is a raised section of the rim and could be on the reverse or the obverse of the coin.

A cud also refers to a piece of extra "metal" in a place where it shoyul;dn't be.

Here are a few "cuds" for you"

The cud in the following scan is above the "OLL" in the word Dollar:

The "CUD" is within the waves towards then top of the coin:

A coin with two rim "CUDS" near "INT" and again near "ONE":

Here is an example of a "rabbit ear CUD" on the Kangaroo at the top of the coin:

Yeah thanks for the great description and pics, You learn something everyday! If someone saw that and still doesn't know what Cuds are?,,.... They don't deserve to know, Cheers

Please be advised that the above is only a selection of "cuds" that I have found.

Have a look at the "error" topic and a lot more will become visible.

Hey, what I want to know is the origin of the term cud. The only other meaning I can think of is a mass of half chewed vomit (chewing the cud)

Many years ago I read somewhere that 'CUD' stood for 'coin under developed', but can't remember where or who it was that said it. I reckon it it had to be on a coin forum though, so most likely either CCF or the old Aussie forum, (not ACBO).

Please don't quote me on it. :angel:

Could have been in some type of Coin Magazine too.

That doesn't sound right. seems like somebody back then tried to make an acronym fit. If a coin is under developed is a CUD then wouldn't that apply to light strikes and die pressure adjustment strikes?
Might as well say WTF means why the face.

I can't answer that question. I just go with the flow.

Have a look at my Gallery coins. There are some there that might enlighten you.

In saying that, I am still after a 2013 Rabbit Ear if anyone has one?
