Description
CU-1C-1798-01R is a reverse cud on a 1798 Draped Bust Cent. Robert Scot's Draped Bust design was struck on large copper planchets using hand-operated screw presses. A cud forms when a die rim section fractures and separates entirely, leaving a cavity that fills with metal during striking to produce a raised featureless mass at the coin's edge. The R suffix identifies this as a reverse cud, placing the failure on the wreath side rather than the portrait. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
