Is this an error? 1914-D $2 1/2 retained cud/die crack?

Is this a retained cud, die crack, or something else? And before someone says jewelry piece... the 1914-D $2 1/2 is made with the flattened circle around the rim. It has possibly been cleaned, but the line is not from jewelry. Thanks!

Neat! It looks like all of the I stayed part of the die.

 

I didn't even notice it without magnification. Cool nonetheless.

 

If I may suggest send it in the cuds on coins see what Mr. Neff has to say and I don't mean you have to send the coin in just the photos. \V/

 

lamination error ....

 

is that a website?

 

Yes sir cuds on coins.com since my dyslexia keeps me from learning how to copy and post links even though I've done it 100 times but I just can't retain it, I'm sure one of our other members will give you the link. \V/

 

Sir I need to make a correction it is cuds on coins@aol.com, this is the email address you'll be sending the photos in on

 

It's not a cud or crack, it's a " Lamination " Error .

It's gold everyone .......

 

Are you saying gold cannot have a retained cud? Because I have seen some graded as such...

 

Not at all, but the die is in a very early die state to me, for these kinds of issues ...

 

How would you know it is in a late die state? I have seen a MS graded Indian with a retained cud.

 

Everything start to wear, lettering, stars, date, details on the Indian and his head dress .. everything around the horn is inverted for striking too .

To me, this coin looks in ms-62 or 63 shape too . I'm just not seeing the wear on the die for a crack or cud ...
Which is good for you, if you own the coin ?

 

Yes, it's mine. Trying to decide if it is worth sending in. I think it might be cleaned.

 

Take a image of the rim, over the area of question .
Then you'll know for sure what's going on ..

 

Like I said Mr. Neff on cuds on coins is always looking for new cud , just email him the photos and it usually takes him a couple weeks he will get back with you on your submission. And if you want to get it slab that's another story I myself unfortunately having one slab at this time. I myself am not a big slab fan, whichever way you decide to go good luck. \V/

 

Does this coin match your description or go against it? Seems well struck, etc to me..

 

Where is the cud on this coin, I think it's on the reverse, only because the reverse is on the graded side of the slab .

Anything under 65 is a MS-coin and anything 65 or above is a BU-coin . The original coin you posted is a early die state then this one .
