Advice taken bud. I'll enjoy every minute, I'm humble, I'll ask questions when I want advice and opinions. I'm sitting on a just a couple coins over here from estates, passed down inherited, people pawning albums for dirt cheap. Familiar with most of what I have, I'm content. Just posting the odd balls like the damaged, I thought may be errors... Thanks everyone.

 

First, and believe it or not, coins are not semi-conductors. If you wish to use gloves that's great, but please do not suggest to the new that's it's the best or even a wise way simply because you prefer or read it somewhere. Don't assume; learn.

As for the freedom of speech nonsense, puh-leez! It doesn't give us the right to take the words of others and/or use whatever we see fit without giving due credit.

 

Just saw this on ebay so I wanted to put in my "1 cent" hopefully 2 if I'm lucky, lol.. By no means is my 1952 S I posted one of my first posts that you guys taught me about cud, comparable to this MS67 + RD (attached eBay sale for $2500).. But mine is in decent shape, exact same cud as well. I haven't sent anything in for grading. The value, as I've said before is the knowledge I've learned from you guys. But this dude got a couple bucks for his. C'mon, you have to admit I could get a little bit more than 1 cent or sending her fugly little twin back into circulation.

 

Your penny doesn't come anywhere close to getting MS67RD with a CAC bean.
Please don't delude yourself that yours is comparable to the eBay coin.

 

I'd be interested in seeing the entire slab. I personally do not think this Cent is a MS-67 even though it may be graded as such and it's not worth anywhere New $2500.00.

Also, one look at the coin and you can see it's not a CUD. A cud must touch the rim. This is only a die chip. A larger than normal one but a die chip nevertheless.

Copied from the Internet about errors.
Cuds
Part IV. Die Errors:
Die Breaks:
Cuds
Definition: A cud is a die break that involves the rim and at least a little bit of the adjacent field or design. The vast majority of sizable die breaks are cuds. Cuds can assume a wide variety of shapes including ovoid, crescentic, and irregular. Most cuds represent spontaneous brittle failure. A small minority arise as the result of impacts.

Many cuds maintain a consistent size and shape through a production run. Some cuds grow larger through a production run as additional pieces of die steel break off. This is a Cud but not mine.

Please do not send your coin in for grading. It's nice but not worth the cost to do so. You'd never recover your money.

 

Agreed @rickmp, not fooling myself at all thinking that. As stated in my second sentence that by no means mine was even comparable to the one on eBay. I was looking up 52's and the ebay sale popped up with the same mess mine had.
Appreciate the breakdown on the specifics of the Cud @Collecting Nut.
