DON'T THINK PMD

Just found this coin roll hunting and at first I thought " Ahh...PMD" but after
looking a little closer I could see the whole rim is in place so no one hit it
with a torch and melted it....Also thought someone melted some solder and let
it drip on the coin so I tried to pop it off but no way.....What do you think?

If I'm not mistaken, I would say it's a "cud" which is an error.
I may be wrong, though.
Thanks,

 

I agree with @-Andy- on this one.

 

Nice CUD fur sure! Great find!

 

I found that exact same cud a few months back. Nice find!

 

Nice "cud" well done

 

Nice Cud find!

 

Thanks Guys!!!...That made my day !!!

 

Nice find. Here is some info on Cuds.

If you both have the EXACT same cud, you should collaborate and see if you can get it classified as a ELDS.

 

I'll have to dig it out and compare.

 

Nice CUD!

 

ELDS? Could you elaborate please?

 

I have two of those from the same die, really. I found both of them in roll searches about 4-5 years ago. Obviously quality control in Philly was lacking that year.

 

Thanks alurid, I will certainly check it out

 

Thanks calishield!

 

I think your right scottishmoney.....

 

My first thought when I found my two back in March and June of 2012 accd to my records was that they were soldered or something.



The first one to the left matches yours - the one to the right looks like the cud progressed with additional chips out of the die. So now you know your coin has kissing cousins on the east coast of the USA!

 

HAHA!!!.....Kissing Cousins !!! It does look just like mine scottishmoney

 

Nice find. Actually not an error, but a variety rather. Varieties happen multiple times due to changes in the die. Errors are one time accidents.
The variety is listed here: http://cuds-on-coins.com/jefferson-nickel-cuds-1983/
CU-5c-1983P-02 is the variety.
