ok thanks. i will take a look

 

Alllllright

 

The coin you posted is called an "Athiest Cent" because part (or all) of IGWT has been obscured by the cud. (That that IS a cud alright.)

What's it worth? Some but not a lot. I don't know for sure but I would guess less than $20 but don't rely on my estimate.

 

Nice find! Looks to be EF 40/45 too. These can go as high as $25-30.

 

My Redbook shows a generic retail value of about $15 for a cud (defective die) zinc Lincoln cent.

 

thanks for the help guys. I got my redbook in the mail a few days ago and have been roll searching looking for errors and key dates ect. Hobo you were right the book has been a very big help.

 

Glad to hear it. You will enjoy the hobby much better by knowing what you are buying rather than snapping up everything that catches your eye.

 

Saw a similar item the other day sell for $70 on eBay, though that piece had nearly 40% of the obverse surface covered with "cud". I'd estimate maybe $15-$25. Try and list it on eBay if you're willing to sell it. Probably the best place for this type of error.

I wanted to try and sell the penny so I listed it on ebay last night. I have never sold anything on ebay so I put a reserve on it. It is a cool find for sure and my first error coin find but I would like to get rid of it and pick up some more Buffalo Nickels for my collection.

This one is not listed in The Cud Book by Thurman & Margolis ('97). I'd go with $20 - $30.

 

Ok thanks. alot of people have said about the same number, give or take a few dollars.

 

I have fixed my reserve on the item to be fair to everyone. Thanks to all.

 

Make sure you're a good seller. This means:

1) Good communication - Thank the buyer for payment, ship the next day after payment.

2) Use USPS with delivery confirmation. Email notification the day the coin ships along with the DC#. Thank them again, tell them to contact you if there are ANY problems.

3) Leave the buyer immediate feedback after paying.

I absolutely HATE sellers that don't take these simple steps and leave the buyer in the dark.
