Definition: A cud is a damaged area resembling a blob on the surface of a coin which is raised above the field a little, and which obliterates the device or inscription where it appears. Cuds are the result of die cracks which have become severe, or from die chips where part of the die surface has become damaged and broken away.

Some experts in the error-variety hobby insist that for the blob to be called a cud, the damaged part of the die must include part of the edge of the die. Although this is the purist definition, in common parlance you'll see the term "cud" used to describe the blob created by any die chip or serious die crack, regardless of its placement on the die or coin.

Very small cuds are not usually valuable unless they appear on Proof coins. Cuds which can be seen by the naked eye are usually worth a small premium over normal value, and some cuds have actually been cataloged and are collectible, such as those on Morgan Dollars or between the letters of LIBERTY on Wheat Cents.


Re the double die it is very interesting but may need to be more evident to increase value, just a guess, good eye.
 
OJM BC's response was spot on. In my copy of Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, I found a referrence to alleged double die obverses for 1922 P Peace Dollars but it appears that your coin is a 1922-D. As such it may be a rarer variety. As ojm bc stated : Good Eye!

I'm seeing a 1922-P, or at least cannot see a D. I can imagine something very close to the letter 'O' of ONE but that is not where the mint mark would be as it is rather very close to the feathers of the eagles wing tips. The placement of the D can be seen in the picture below.

This one looks to be from the same die as yours, its called the

Glad that you could supply some VAM info! On the mint mark question, on the OP's reverse photo, it appears that there is a mintmark very close to the bottom ray above the tail feather. Even though I enlarged the photo I could not determine with certainty if it was a D. It may be a tick? I never assume that a mint mark is going to be exactly where it should be. Take Barber Quarters for example, you will see O's and S's, although in the general area, they are not always placed perfectly. It could be the same with this 1922 Peace Dollar.

Again, glad that you posted the VAM info! It's good to know that there is a silver doller specialist on board.

Happy Hunting!

Blind Squirrel, I don't know that much about it. Most of what I learn is from online research. I'm sure the first couple posters know more about these than I do.
 
I saw them on ebay sell for around $40 for the VAM 2C variety in similar condition as yours. There is a GEM BU VAM 2C that sold for $149. Here is the 'completed' search results on ebay that show what they have and have not sold for....http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=%22VAM+2C%22+peace&_sacat=0&_odkw=%22VAM+2C%22&_sop=1&_osacat=0&LH_PrefLoc=2&LH_Complete=1
