    I found this two weeks ago coin roll hunting quarters and it is my best rim cud die break I've ever found. There is the obvious monster rim cud die break on front and a smaller one on the reverse at around the 2 to 3 oclock position. How rare is this coin to have a obverse/reverse rim cud and is it a documented one that has already been discovered. I know there is a rim cud book out there and I dont know if this one is in there or not. I plan on listing this on ebay next week and would like an estimated value from you experts. Thx Z

    Not a cud on reverse, but because of the cud on obverse, not enough force to fill the reverse die.
    Still, it's a nice find.

    There is a rim cud on the reverse right below the depression and above the "er" on america.

    You're right! Sorry, I missed it. I was looking at the area above that. An even better find!

    Yep, there is a small one at about 2 o'clock.
    Nice one, the way it covered the 1976 and left the 1776 date is kinda neat.

    The featureless bulge on the obverse is not a rim cud. It's a cud, pure and simple.

    ......and I believe the one on the reverse between 2 & 3 o'clock is just a rim break since it doesn't extend into the field.

    I agree on both counts. (Not sure if "rim break" is the proper term but whatever it is called it is not a cud because, as Chris said, it does not extend into the field.)

    A few bucks. Perhaps $5 to $25 depending on the buyer. (Don't quote me on the value as I am not up to speed on the value of many error coins.)

    If anyone has a copy of The Cud Book please see if this cud and reverse "rim break" are listed.

    Looks like the listing is WQC-76D-1 although it may be a later stage since the one I referenced did not mention a reverse rim cud. Price is more like around $50. maybe more. Nice Bicentennial error.

    I actually found one in my cud collection so I was able to do a better close up of the rim cud.

    I put it on eBay last Sunday night and with one day left it is already at $177.50. Awesome!

    I see that.....doesn't really surprise me since its a nice error and error coins seem to be gaining strength again in the market.

    0utstanding! Looks like it was your turn to hit the coin roll lottery.

    looks like WQC-76-D-1 on the obverse with an unlisted rim cud on reverse. It might have just been unnoted because it is just on the rim, though.

    $177, holy crap.

    It's WQC-76-D-1 and the rim cud is too small to denote. Let's see if there is a bidding flurry at the end.

    I happen to have the same coin, what was the final price at auction?
