Yeah, rim cud.

Rim cud is different than a regular cud. Rim cud only involves the edge/rim of the coin . . . . . with a regular cud the broken part of the die will extend into the design field of the die.

Typically rim cuds are net very collectable or desireable ~ but I've seen a few big ones that are nice examples.
