can you take a side view.??
of the edge and can you weight it

 

could be a cud error

 

It appears to be a massive cud. If so, the reason that so much detail is lost on the obverse is because the metal flowed into the die break, and there was not enough left to fill the obverse recesses.

side view

 

one big giant reverse cud.

Obverse I like that because they was no die on the opposite side to force the metal into the obv die.

Very nice find.

I am sure that the die was retired VERY shortly after that was struck.

 

Let's see? 1984 to 2014......that's about 30 years. Geez, it sure won't get much from Social Security.

Amazing! Looks like a slightly later strike of CU-1c-1984-03R, seen here: http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-cuds-1984/

Again I say Amazing!

 

Holy cow, that is amazing!

 

Super cool find! Did you find it in a roll?

 

coin is still in transit, once with me I take a side view and weight it

 

no, I bought it, honestly, I had absolutely no idea what is going on it just seemed beautiful

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? Reason I ask is I did a search on ebay last night. 1984's with MUCH smaller CUDs were selling over $30. You might have gotten a steal of a deal.

 

That's an error - nice cud, a pretty rare one to boot.

 

Good explanation.

 

Outstandingly humongous cud!

 

look at how much this 82 coin selling on ebay looks like the OP'S 84 coin .
