Maybe the only top 50 Peace Vam with a cud?

  Is that truly a cud or a spot where the collar broke?

  One in the same. When the collar breaks, it creates a cud on the rim. If a lot of it breaks off, the cud will eventually move into the fields.

  A small clarification or two:
  
  The collar die and face dies are not connected. The rim is created by a face die, as is the rim cud illustrated, where a short piece broke out of the obverse die. A broken collar die would leave a plain area on the edge and possibly a vertical fin extending above the rim at that point. (Collar dies were more massive than face dies and subject to less stress, so coins with collar breaks are very scarce.) A collar break would not migrate to a face die unless additional damage occurred.
  
  
  BTW - very neat coin!!
