<p>[QUOTE="RKSmith, post: 1307717, member: 34426"]Anyone see a cud error like this? You can clearly see Roosevelt's ear, jaw line, and hair in the top of the cud. What's this worth? The reverse side looks normal (I posted a pic in a later post). I was cleaning out my father-in-law's house and found a jar of old coins where he would stick them whenever he found something interesting going back to 1951.</p><p>I am a forensic mechanical engineer and cannot figure out how this coin could have gotten like this. If the coin blank was defective with a thick portion before it was stamped, then I don't see how the die could have reached the rest of the coin face. If I were to place two coins together, one on top the other, and then weld them together, then why is the edge of the raised portion smoothed down onto the other coin? And, what are the chances that someone could line up the top coin perfectly to have the ear in position on Roosevelt's head?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
