How Many Clods or Cuds can you count on this LMC penny?

The fact that many seem to be a part of the rim or 'welded' to the metal portion to which is attached suggests to me that they are not PMD. I'll let the experts decide.

Looks like PMD to me.
Zero
?? You could explain...
Looks like an accumulation of crud and some small plating bubbles/pimples.
I don't see any cuds.
Why would a cud be white and look like corrosion?
Because it's corrosion and/or PMD.
Nothing on this coin but PMD.
1) there is no such thing as "clods", and cuds are generally understood to involve the rim.
2) there is corrosion on the reverse and the main issue on the obverse is plating bubbles and/or corrosion underneath the plating.
Like I have to ask? Did you do anyindependent research before you asked this question. If yout really interested you can search and find the answer in great detail .
**How did you find the word **CUD?

I would say plating bubbles and PMD. Also I do not see any cuds
Are those clods where that green grass is growing?

I have examined this coin closely and it appears to be 'environmental' damage. The zinc core inside the thin copper plating is exposed due to elements such as acids in soil/chlorides in water, etc. These zincolons do not hold up to the elements and eventually will dissolve leaving a micron thick copper shell behind.

There are no cuds or other minting issues... it is a damaged cent.... Cheers, RickO
I did some more reading. I agree
