CUD
There were no P mintmarks on cents in 1974.
Die chip. High stress in that area caused a piece of the die to break away.
This.
I know about 2017 only have p . Thought it might be a mistake. Thank you for your help
die chip
I agree it is a die chip.... interesting location though, and a good coin to keep as an 'educational sample'. Cheers, RickO
A nice find as 1974 was not known for having chips in the date area.
It is definitely not a cud. By definition, a cud must be connected to the rim of the coin.
Nice find

Interesting coin. I like it!
A cud is from the rim into the interior of the die. A chip does not reach the rim.

These used to be known as "Clogged 9" varieties back in the fifties and sixties. They were very common on the 1960-D small date, which necessitated the change to the large date.
Die chip/Clog 9. Found many of those dated late 50's.
