Shield Nickel with possible Cud error?

I came across this coin and suspect it is a cud error. I can't read the date. I would appreciate any help? Should I sent it out to be assessed?

Solder

 

I agree . The coin is damaged and no need to waste your money on this . Sorry

 

I would not send it out. It is not an error as far as i can tell.

 

There might be a cud forming to the left of “CENTS”, but the coin is so badly corroded, it’s hard to be sure. The big blob on the other side is post mint damage.

 

Looks like solder. It’s too damaged to be concerned about.

 

DEFNUD

Definitely not a cud

what do you think Paddy?

 

No, I wouldn't send it in. I'm actually surprised the shape that's in just seemed to go right by you. I mean, seriously, who'd be interested in that? And to think that lump's a mint error? Are you really looking at it? I'm just having a hard time understanding how someone can think that. But think it you did, and you got your answer. So, IDK, thank you for sharing.

 

Maybe DEFNAC.

 

Looks like a spender to me and definitely not worth certifying.

 

I thought DEFNUD sounded more like a DUD. But I like yours better.

 

Yours is fine, I was just having a silly moment.

 

That coin was definitely buried for some time. The corrosion damage is from contact with acidic soil. The shinny bump appears to be something dripped on the surface and not originally part of the coin metal, so not a cud or any type of error, at least in my opinion.

 

PMD to the max, what a shame, sorry. Good luck

 

Thank you all for your comments. Like I said I am new to coin collecting and still have a lot to learn. I appreciate the input. Barbara

 

On the reverse there may be a retained cud left of cents, and possibly a rim cud at 5:00. But with all the post strike damage the coin is probably worth less than a dollar.

 

That's the whole thing. People come on here all the time equipped only with the knowledge some errors are worth money. They're not here to learn how to collect coins, just how to spot errors. We try to teach them they're on the wrong track, they're only being conned by idiots who are profiting off their naivety, and they rebel by becoming the more obsessed, to the point where it's almost a psychosis. They're "learning" the wrong way if they're trying to learn the hobby, that's the bottom-line.
