This is pretty cool. A fellow collector asked how much I thought his Lincoln cent cud error was worth. I told him that I didn’t recognize the cent as being listed in the cud book. We had a nice discussion & it was decided that the price should not be affected because a cud may or may not be listed in the book. I gave him a price that I would be willing to pay & he said I could have it for $10 less. Obviously, that was very nice of the guy.
Then he gives me the Coin World article where the coin is shown as the discovery coin. This is pretty cool. At this time, I am going to leave the coin in its original holder as marked by its previous owner. I think I’ll place the Coin World article with the coin somehow.
You can tell that my coin is the coin in the article due to various markings and toning spots that are unique to the coin. I’ll be posting more photos soon because I believe this is a progressive cud and I have to take photos of the other 1987 cuds in my collection.
I grew up on a dairy farm. "Cud" had an entirely different meaning. Even though I've been collecting off and on since 1952, I've learned more in four years here at CT than the previous fifty plus. Thanks for posting.
I want to mention that I own a couple copies of the larger 1987 cud depicted here. If anyone has any other stage of this 1987 cud then I would be interested in making a trade or purchase. Please send me a PM.
