SALE PENDING !!! SALE PENDING !!! SALE PENDING !!! Thank you! 1943 Steel Cent Die Crack/Cud Progression Set Die Crack and Cud with Identical Die Clash results on reverse. I bought this on CCF in Aug 2010 from an advanced collector who specialized in Lincoln Cents. I have bought a number of superb coins from him back in the day. To quote from him in the sales description he wrote "1943 PAIR - MS64/65 - Now this is really something special I'm going to offer. I guarantee you'll never see anything like this offered ANYWHERE! This is a pair of 1943's that are both at least MS-64, maybe 65, with blazing luster, that show the transition from a cracked die to a full-out Cud. Maybe I'm the luckiest guy in the world, but I bought a BU roll of 1943's and found these BOTH in the same roll! It was truly an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime find. I'm not a huge error/variety collector, so I'm going to part with this remarkable pair of coins. Only sold as a pair! I will not split these brothers up, they belong together." I am not really an error collector, I have a small type set of the usual errors for Jefferson Nickels (clips, cud. broadstrike, off center. clamshell etc) I hang on to as they compliment my Jefferson Nickel collection but other than that and almost 14 years later, I think I will let this neat set go here. If you look at the reverse, you can see the outline of the front of Lincolns Bust running through the bottom of the Letter E in ONE and down into the top of Letter N in CENT on both coins which is evidence of the same die clash and also the shapes of the cud and die crack match exactly. I have kept these in capsules for the past 13 plus years. They look as good as the original seller described them to me and I think, much nicer than the images here. I want $75 for this pair in MO or check ( has to clear bank ) No online payment, and will ship FREE only to the lower 48 states in the US at my cost insured. Thank you very much!
