Ok here is one for the books or not. getting later. will post this for you to look at. 1979 filled mintmark.
The Denver mintmark is filled in with a cud. definitly not normal, but dosnt bring a premium, unless its the size of that one posted recently. Nice coin Cheryl, glad your going to keep it!
just to clarify, this would be considered a die chip, not a cud. A cud is when a piece of the die has broken away from the EDGE of the coin. A cud always includes the rim. Richard
Ok, I did not get any reply notice for this but its all good. Well now I am on my way with hopes of finding more. Thanks ya'll. I am posting other one for ya'll to look at. Cheryl
