Here's a neat cud error that I understand is pretty rare in high grade. I really like it because it's so dramatic. So feel free to post your LARGE cud errors - I'd love to see them! (sorry, don't know what's going on with the photos I've posted today, but you need to click on the photo to see it full size)
Not really sure of the value, it's hard to say with errors, but I'm guessing maybe in the $200+ range due to the quality of this piece.
Very nice. Not sure about the price. I sold a 1999 like it in about MS060 condition for about 20 bucks. But who knows? I guess it depends on someone wanting to spend that amount of cash for that variety/ mint error.
The price is due to the higher grade and red designation. It's my understanding that these are pretty rare in higher grades, and more common in lower grades. And there's a world of difference between MS60 and MS64. But who knows what it would sell for - that's what's so hard about errors - it's really hard to price them!
Not at all, a cud is made when the die is cracked (in this case the obverse die) and a chunk of the die fell away before it stamped the planchet. So now there is basically a hole in the die so when it stamps the planchet it leaves a raised area on the planchet. If a die is merely cracked, it will show as a raised line on the planchet/coin. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the explaination, I seem to pick up a little more info every time I am on this site. I recently started collected strictly for the investemt value but find myself being consumed by the hobby. My 14yo daughter and I are now spending hours searching back rolls of pennies and enjoying ourselves thoroughly. Thanks to all who post answers to newbies to help us get started!!
Hi All, One addition to the great explanation. A CUD has to involve the rim area of the coin. If it does not, it is called an interior die break. Thanks, Bill
Nice error, always love your new purchases... :thumb: And the pictures are something that Peter did when he was making changes...It makes the pages load quicker, and should slow down all of the traffic. On most large images, all you do is click, and they will come out bigger. If you still want big images, I think that if you do it via photobucket or another source it should work fine!
Nope, photobucket didn't work either, nor did posting from my website, Todd's website, or downloading from my computer - they all come out so tiny - I'm not very happy with this change - but these little guys say it best! :crying: :headbang: :crying: :desk: :crying: :hammer: :crying: :computer: :crying: :hammer: :crying: :computer: :crying: :hammer: :crying: :computer: :hammer: :crying:
Well, according to Doug everything will be the way it is until Peter comes back from vacation. Not too much of a rush, MOST photos show up big after clicking on them And yes those smileys say it best..
