Bought this coin because of the large cud by the date. Google says cud-007. Any idea if this might add value? Die collector interest maybe?
A cud? Yes, but not a 007.. Couldn't find it though either. Flying Eagle Cent cuds; 1856 – 1858 – Cuds on Coins. Out of holder and a side angle shot please...... Thanks!
when I googled 1858 cent with cud by date it came back as cud-007. Not sure so I e-mailed Rick Snow to see what he says.
That isn't a full blown Cud, there isn't any weakness opposite the area on the reverse. It is a retained Cud, A retained cud is when the piece of die face cracks and loosens but does not seperated from the die face. Yours is RCD-1c-1858(SL)-03 Flying Eagle Cent Retained & Pre-Cuds: 1856 – 1858 – Cuds on Coins
