    This is known as a cud right? I just want to get any feedback about this coin and whether this is something I should get graded or just hang on to... Any info is much appreciated, and again, thank you all for your help.

    It's the usual spot for a cud on a quarter.
    Nice example. I wouldn't send it for attribution. Just keep it in a 2x2 coin flip.

    There are many dateless examples here -

    Maybe you can find the match!

    nice Cud
    did you notice on the reverse side where the coin detail wasn't formed properly opposite the Cud as there wasn't any/enough die pressure in that area. It's a good way to properly identify larger cuds like that.

    The lack of detail on the reverse is also due to the fact that coin metal that should have flowed into that area flowed into the cud. ~ Chris

    With this in mind and knowing you have a few :) error coins, have you ever had any graded/authenticated/slabbed, and what would be your criteria?

    This is a good coin and has value. If you get it graded you will only
    lose money when you sell it.

    I have in all denominations. I like the Cent cuds. The criteria for me would be eye appeal and coolness.
    Here are 2 of my favorites..

    Let me elaborate...did you buy these already slabbed or did you have them slabbed yourself. I was just wondering what set of circumstances would lead you to send off an error for slabbing.

    I sent the 1970 Cent. It is a well known Die Break. And a great example of it. Good to have it slabbed.

    The Kennedy I purchased. Who gets to see a cud on a half dollar?

    The Cent is not slabbed. Not worth the cost to do so.

    Yours yes, mine no. I was referring to mine as we were both quoted by Kentucky. Sorry for any confusion.

    Sweet! Looks as though I have my first official error coin. I found it on the reference page provided by paddyman to be a CU-25c-ND(P)-31.
    I wonder what year it really is. Anyway thanks for helping. By the way, is this a real clipped planchet error?
