I didn't realize that was going for so much.

Note on the reverse the area opposite the Cud on the rim is showing a slight weakness on the reverse. So it is a Cud, small but it is a Cud. (Not glue) |

I think he's referring to the yellow crap which may be glue or maybe pvc.

Good long soak in acetone won't hurt.

Yes, long soak in 100% acetone is likely to remove the crud--no scrubbing, just a soak then rinse gently in distilled water.

Acetone is completely safe to use and will not affect the surface or toning of the nickel. I suggest soaking for 12 hours, checking for residue and if not completely satisfied, try another 12 hours.
You can also try Xylene (available in most hardware stores) as it sometimes gets better results and is equally safe to use. Xylene has a bit of a stronger odor that some people find offensive.
Nice find, btw. Pretty sure it's a match, as Tunnioc pointed out, to CU-5c-1975D-02.

Very nice Cud! Too bad about the glue residue, but it should be easily removed by a good Acetone bath overnight. |

It is the combination of a Cud and high MM that is making this coin so valuable. |

The price was put here I do not understand?!!!? PCGS has no one certify as high MM as error, NGC some, ANACS I do not check. But this price must be the new wave of extraordinary errors. LOL. On this coin I do not see error. An hand misplaced MM, part of the production and a Cud which show a VLDS damage. We go crazy on the collecting. So guys jump for a coin of VLDS at the best 55 for One Ground, your life deal LOL. Edited by silviosi

The misplaced MM on the 1975 D Nickel has been a known secret for quite some time and the high value is not dependent on the existence of the Cud. Here's an article from Coin World in 2015 that details an offer made in 2012 to pay $500 for the first one sent to the author, and he notes that no one ever took him up on it. The second article is more recent and appears to confirm that a few more have been found and graded. The author makes an interesting suggestion, namely that the die break that caused the Cud may have shortened the production run thus resulting in an unusually low production amount and the resulting rarity of the misplaced D variety. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...-bowers.htmlhttps://nickelcollector.wordpress.c...1975-high-d/ |
