John D. Wright reports a "triangular cud" from about 4:00 to 6:00 extending into the wreath. This coin (illustrated above) is in low grade and the "cud," if any, is indistinguishable from a large lamination defect on the edge in that area. (John D. Wright, "Design Cud," Penny-Wise, 9/15/1978, p. 215.)

American Numismatic Society has one with plain edge, an end-of-strip piece ("straight clip"), ex James G. MacAllister, April 1932. See "Oops!" chapter, below.
