Bored so I broke out the Indian head set. I got to the 1863 and noticed this cud on the rim. I have had this coin for 40 +Years and just now noticed. Does it add any value?
If it was a common date one from the 1900's maybe it'd bump it up from $1 to $5, but I'm not so sure on a 1863 if it'd add much to the price since they're already valued higher. Still though, I'd rather have one with the cud than without it.
I found this example on cuds-on-coins.com. I don’t think it’s the same cud on my coin but it was the closest match. CU-1c-1863-07R Images are courtesy of KeithBock on E-bay
