    Sorry, but that looks like a foreign substance on the coin, perhaps solder.

    I'd have to agree, if a CUD, the numerals would also be absent because a CUD is by definition (mine at least) the absence of a die due to a breakage.

    Agree with both posts above.

    It's either solder, or some other
    type of liquid....but it's not a
    cracked or broken die error.......
