BiggAndyy Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 The starburst pattern is, from what I recall, somewhat common, especially amongst coins minted early in the dies' life. It is an artifact of the metal flow around the devices. MS Peace Dollars display this especially distinctly and I think MS Indian Head nickels as well. As far as the cud, small, even for a dime, probably won't rocket the price to anything impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thats not a cud. A cud is a die chip that runs off the edge of the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would a dip/whiz/or clean affect the starburst? I've come across some Peace $s that look cleaned and if a starburst is affectd by cleaning maybe I could use that as a diagnostic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yes. One of the ways to tell if an MS Peace Dollar has been whizzed is to look for the starburst pattern. It isn't always there on legit MS coins, but if the starburst isn't there on a real Gem BU coin then that should be a good tip to start looking for other signs that the coin might be whizzed.
