<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buffknut, post: 58075, member: 3484&quot;]Well my digital camera didn&#039;t do any better than the scanner, so I took the penny up to the coin shop this morning and asked what kind of defect it was and it was confirmed that it was a cud. Back into my little coin book it goes. It has an adventure story that goes along with it and I plan to pass the penny along through the family along with my other coins. I also have a completely filled penny book with coins from 1909-1940. Most of them were from my Mother and I believe that they had originally been my Grandfather&#039;s (he was a serious coin collector). As a gift, my second hubby filled in the 5 coins that were not in the book that my Mom had given me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1924 D penny got my collection started up again after my then husband (1st) had taken and sold off my original coin collection. My original collection got started in my teenaged years in the early 1960s. That took my heart out of collecting and I lost all interest. About a decade later, I found this penny in an old upright piano that I had bought for $75. After being in my possession for about a half dozen years, this little penny almost met the fate that my original collection did. It had been stolen by my ex in the early 1980&#039;s when he came to visit the kids while I was at work (they had been told to never let him in the house when I wasn&#039;t home, but he sweet taked them into letting him in). Shortly after his return to his place in Oklahoma, I had such a vivid dream that he had taken my penny, that I got out of bed to check that it was still there. It was GONE! I called him long distance in the middle of the night and demanded it back...he denied having it. I told him I was making a police report, and did (he had taken some other items as well). It showed up in the mail a few days later...post marked from the town he lived in.</p><p><br /></p><p>He passed away last week and this week our grown children found some returned to me some things that he had. I received back some old pennies and an old coin board (from about 1938-40) that he probably took at the same time. Only a few pennies were in it, but all of the pennies that came back to me were common pennies with little value...which is probably why they were not sold off. It was going through all of the items that they brought back from out of state that perked up my interest in my old penny with a story...to find out just what kind of error coin it is. THANKS!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
