Wouldn't it be neat to find the small piece of die that could be identified as the cause of a cud/retained cud? I wonder if anyone at CT has such a piece.

 

I just found this one yesterday and knew absolutely nothing about it but a few people helped me out on another thread sorry don't know how to post the picture except as an attachment. ..

 

Use upload file button and select photo from your computer/desktop, let it upload to CT, then add it as a full image, not a thumbnail...

 

Not that the world needs another shattered die/retained cud, but I'm posting this here for a couple of reasons. 1. Just showing another date, which I believe is less common than the 2007's and 2. Showing the similarity between this coin and the one Diana is showing above.


FWIW Fred Weinberg described this as a 50% Retained Cud and Shattered Die.

 

Here is mine, from the super-low mintage of the Newfoundland strikes. It is currently at PCGS, because I thought it was mint state condition.

 

Great coin! Let us know how it grades.

 

Hello I would like to share the CUD my 9yo Son just found in a box of 2500 from the Bank. I think that it is a post 1983 because I can see on the back where it appears to Show some zinc near the CUD.
Any Idea about what this is worth? We just started collecting coins. We plan on keeping it ....Just Curious

 

That is a great find Ridgerunnerras! It reminds me of the first coin posted in this thread which got me hooked on error coin collecting. I think current retail value on the coin might be $25 to $50. Others here (that sell coins) might be able to give you better price data).

Please only handle the coin by the edge & never touch the obverse or reverse surface. It is also important to NOT talk over the coin because small drops of saliva may land on the coin & they can form dark spots as time goes by. Also keep open carbonated beverages away from the coin because airborne bubbles may form future little dark spots.

It currently appears to be nice red color. You should immediately put it into a hard plastic flip or 2x2 holder to protect it.

THANKS FOR POSTING THE FIND.

 

Nice coin and appears to be in great shape. I would guess $50 to $75. Cuds seem to be hot right now.

Unrequested advice - You might consider getting your son a scale for Christmas if he's serious about this stuff. So many questions can be answered by knowing the weight and you can get decent ones from eBay or Amazon for 10 bucks or so. You can answer the question about copper or post '83 by simply weighing it.

 

I found one just like it here

CU-1c-ND-05

What is a Cross Reference number?

 

Yep, your coin looks like CU-1c-ND-05.

There are a couple books that previously published a reference number for each cud. Recently a new numbering system was adopted at cuds-on-coins & they list the previous reference number if one was available. Your coin was not in the previous books so there is no previous reference available.

If you look at the first post in this thread I listed the original reference number from the book "The Design Cud" and also the latest number issued by cuds-on-coins.

 

Here's mine. 1858 Flying Eagle.

 

Anyone have a collar cud? Sometimes (rarely) the collar die may break. I suspect that this type of die fatigue can cause the press machine to malfunction & jam quickly. I have not seen many coins struck with a broken collar die like this 1989 nickel:


BTW, I've had the 1989 nickel for 25 years but had not photographed it until last night. I photographed a bunch of cuds last night so I may need to get back to this thread.

 

Are there any other collar cud coins in your collections?
Here are some cute & cuddly cuddy cents:

 

Is this 79 die rotated also ???

 

It's a hole in my type set. I've passed on a couple of small collar cracks, but never had the opportunity at a worthwhile specimen.

 

Here is my discovery of the day. These two 1987 cents are from the same obverse die!


It is fun to make new discoveries in your own coins.

 

Looking at the slab photos (obverse & reverse) the coin appears to have normal ↓↑ 180-degree coin orientation.
