I don't see a cud. What do you see that you think is a cud? Can you post better photos?
Yes, I should have also mentioned die polish lines. Thanks, Jim. WL, you have the actual coin and all we have to look at is photos. You should...
Photos would help. Have you looked at the edge of the coins? A tapered planchet could produce a weak strike like you describe.
Flow lines are raised lines on a coin that are caused by erosion of the surface of the die. Flow lines are radial lines (lines which radiate out...
Why would anyone counterfeit an SGS slab?
Am I missing something? It looks like the coin is dated 1991 to me.
I agree - that looks like a die chip. Also it appears to be a misaligned die (MAD) that produced the slightly off-center reverse (or is it the...

That's a new one. I have never bought from Littleton (everyone knows their prices are HIGH) but I have never heard anyone say the overpriced coins...
The top 4 grading services will note errors on the inserts but you must specifically request it and they charge an extra fee for that service.
As others stated on your other thread with the same question - - - it appears to be post-Mint damage. Reeding in the collar would not cause this...
I suppose it could. It is a planchet error. While error collectors would like the coin in high grade the dime collectors would probably prefer a...
That's right. I got the name wrong.

Sounds like someone smashed a pipe (or something similar) into the coin. That would be post-Mint damage and the coin would be worth a quarter....
I think that is called a foldover. A bit of the copper core was folded over and was struck into the rim and field when the coin was struck. Cool find.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Try taking a close-up photo of the mintmark straight on rather than at an angle. Also try changing the settings on your camera so your photos will...
