Odd find going through some 90%

I ran across this quarter going though some 90%. It looks like a retained cud or something similar.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Yup, cud it is. Good eye, who even looks at these worn examples anymore?????

Man that coin is BEAT.
Unless that is a spot of silver solder (no reason to think it is) that is a cud (not a retained cud as the piece of the die has broken away and is gone).
There is no Cud die break error on this quarter.
It's solder, (or a very deep edge bruise!).....
The coin is well worn, damaged, and not
an error coin of any type.........sorry
Just looks like damage to me - unless that spot is raised well above the surface.
Oh well, hence its inclusion in a lot of junk silver....
Does not look like a cud to me. I vote PMD.

It isn't a lead counterfeit is it? That thing looks terrible.

There have been other cuds that large so why the doubting Thomases? Peace Roy

The size of the 'blob' of metal has nothing to do with any of
us thinking it's not a Cud (because of the size.)
You're right - there are many Cuds on all denominations
that are much larger - but this 1941 Silver Quarter isn't one of them.
On second look I am guessing the sloping sides of the blob and the flat surface that is level with the rim are problematic.
Does that thing ring when you drop it, or does it go "thud"?
That does look like it is 'added'.... likely solder...Cheers, RickO
Please post a full image of the reverse. It may be possible to point out a missing diagnostic that will help others when considering if a blob is a 'cud.' On the opposite side of the cud, a common diagnostic is to have a 'hollow' where the metal flowed into the cud and away from the die during striking.
