Rim cuds seem to be common on 1865 3c, along with MPDs, RPDs, die clashes, etc. Look through auction archives and see if you can find yours. Here...
Very cool. What intrigues me is that you've been here for 18 years and only have 179 posts. Man of few words. I respect that.
I didn't see anything at Cuds on Coins that matches. Look through this and see if you can match the dies; not much about cuds there though....
There are some sharp borders on both sides that shouldn't be there. I think a foreign substance (glue?) is on the coin and elsewhere it caused...
You seem fixated on making a profit by speculating about all of this stuff, and more power to you I guess. Personally I can't be bothered with it....
In my junk box I have at least half a dozen I pulled out of circulation as a kid. The bicentennial was a big deal. I regularly get them in change...
Because nobody wants to pay $3500 for what will be a $2300 coin in a year or two. I think it's that simple. People only speculating on bullion...

There are plenty of "mint destroyed" coins but then they are not coins anymore. :)
I like this one for the cool reverse die crack. Not sure what earned it MS61 at NGC but don't really care. [ATTACH]
I got this roll via an old friend straight from the launch ceremony...
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia158696.html Numista says 27.8mm and 6.2g. I don't know anything about these, but the shape of George's...
I've run out of weirdo Barber dimes that I haven't posted before, so I dug this out of my world travels change jar....
That place gave me the creeps. So much bad juju. Last time I was there it was 4th of July and we randomly stopped on our way through. Native...
