Just found this in the take a penny leave a penny tray and my local convenience store definitely need some help with this one any info is great looks like some damage but other parts don't
There's definitely some damage, but that looks like a CUD.. and maybe something else? I can't tell what's damage, and what's not lol!
So I figured damage on the head and just gets worn into the coin over time makes sense kinda makes it look like a possible error these are things that I'm learning with die strikes and doubling and all the other fun stuff. Cud is a new one but after reading I understand
Cud’s must be on or along the rim. I just can’t tell as my vision is blurry from all of my pills at the moment.
Just from the photos, which is never a good way to positively ID anything, I'd say both spots are damage. I believe I see metal movement on the upper right, like it took a hit, and the spot at 11:00 appears to be added metal, like silver solder, as looking at the edge, shows a different composite of metal from the actual nickel. Just my observations.
I have done silver solder doing water heaters from my personal view of the coin it don't look like it's been added but I don't know my but from my elbow when it comes to this that's why all are so great
