2old jc, I had since realized that 'OP' referred to the person who posted the topic, I just didn't state that I realized. That proved beneficial however because I didn't gather what 'OP' actually stood for and now I know. Thank you for clarifying, and thank you jbuck.

I'm just discovering the different LMC reverse designs, so I'd appreciate feedback confirming my thought that this is LMRD #5 which would make it a 1986-1988 cent. Thank you!

Hi BJ, it would be cool to have one of my coins listed on your site. I understand this isn't of utmost priority but I'm trying this avenue of communication just in case you missed my email. Thank you!

I would love to have one of these in my collection.

I do not know exactly how much %wise each anomaly(TDO, rim Cud, die state etc.) contributes to this $ 150 Asking Price for this CONECA-3-0-III 1960-D, for example, but this entire page prepared by the acclaimed Ken Potter is nonetheless an excellent and useful place to look at insofar as seeing what's out in the marketplace w/r/t pricing etc.

One can locate this particular 1960-D about ¼ of the way down the page -

1960-D Large Date 1c Tripled Die Obverse. CONECA-3-0-III

Joecontois,

Some of the applicable descriptive verbiage to note from Mr. Potter for the aforementioned 1960-D being 'possibly' somewhat parallel to your coin would be:

".developed a small 'Rim Cud' to left and just above L of LIBERTY. Both states do have a lightly skirted R in LIBERTY." Romines' listed the variety with an estimated value of $150 in BU."

Best of luck,

I'm not entirely sure why you used this coin for a comparison other than that it also has a Cud? It is nonetheless interesting; I've never heard of a TDO before!

As far as rarity is concerned, I can tell you that in my experience in searching through a little over a million cents, I have only found about a dozen true Cud's or roughly 1 in every 80,000 to 100,000 cents searched.

Yours is pretty large and I have only found 1 as large as yours (see my avatar). So, in my experience, yours is a one in a million coin. Congrats!
