<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1467434, member: 15445&quot;]Hello Stan4stl,</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the CoinTalk forum.&nbsp; We look forward to your posts. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a book called &quot;The Cud Book&quot; by Sam Thurman &amp; Arnold Margolis.&nbsp; It describes the minting process and depicts examples of many (many) known cuds.&nbsp; When the die breaks, it can continue to make coins for some time before the defect is spotted or the press machine jams.&nbsp; Those defective coins are very close to the same size as normal coins so they do get shipped from the mint and do get into circulation easily.&nbsp; The larger &amp; more dynamic examples sell for much money.&nbsp; Coins like your example sell for about $20.&nbsp; The price can go much higher if you have a couple spirited bidders that want the coin.&nbsp; Sometimes these spirited bidders on Ebay could be called bidiots. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As this coin is from your Grandmother, I would recommend that you put it in a 2x2 coin holder and keep it safe.&nbsp; If you ever put it for sale, please send me a PM.&nbsp; (PM is private message here at CT)&nbsp; (CT is CoinTalk here at CT). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Stay thirsty my friend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
