Nice CUD!!!

Did you find it in a roll?

 

Well my friend gave me a big container of pennies to go through and I found it. Also found really nice 70's and 80's and earlier. I am just sorting through them now.

 

That's a pretty good friend. Smaller cuds have sold on ebay between 10-100 dollars. I can't find an example of yours that has sold recently but I would imagine it would be on the higher end due to the size of the cud and the condition of the coin. Congrats

 

Thank you so much! Why would be a good place to sell it?

 

Nice coin.

I personally wouldn't. Too cool of a find
That being said, I would imagine that ebay would be a good start. Not my area of expertise though.
@paddyman98 check it out, an actual error!

 

Since I am a beginner at coins I figure better to ask then to disregard it. It was a cud and not crud!

 

It's a nice Cud.. But I don't really feel it would bring that much of a huge premium. I have purchased similar Cents for $15.00 - $20.00

 

Not a bad find for a beginner.

 

I was just going off the recently sold cuds on ebay. Perhaps those prices are inflated?

 

Most items there are inflated

 

True, but someone is paying those prices

 

Who cares what it's worth? If the OP has any interest in this hobby and/or has any plans to collect, I'd strongly suggest she keep it even if only because she's not likely to just stumble upon another.

Congrats on a cool find, Dianne, and welcome to the forum!

 

Agree 100%. Took me a long time to find my first cud and it wasn't nearly as cool as OPs. I have found quite a few in all of my searches but still nothing quite as impressive as that.

 

Still not bad for a 1 cent investment.

 

Very nice find and congrats!

 

Considering the source, the OP should take this to heart.

Still, perhaps I should have used better wording. It's not that I think there's anything wrong with discussing value, but only that we shouldn't do so in a way that could propagate the notion that value is central to this hobby and/or of the utmost importance to all collectors.

 

Anytime anyone asks me to roll up their coins, I'm rarin' and ready! Found some nice ones in my sisters 5 gallon jug. She even had an 1800's Irish Miners token in that jug. Barely readable but still nice to find.

 

Thank you all! My first big find! I will take it to a coin show next week.
