Nice Rim Cuds! Nice coin as well. Errers and Varietys.

Thanks for all the kind words! I've been trying to get a few of the Cuds and cracks listed from my huge backlog of such things, but then they just keep coming in and I never seem to get ahead of them. |

tropicalbats, Are you going to try and take care of the built-up crud areas? I like the eye appeal, except for the crud  John1  |

Excellent eye appeal on this coin. Congrats on the new listing.

Thanks!
And John, no, I don't clean valuable coins. Maybe a couple dollar coin, but not things worth more than that. I've seen too many examples where even just removing the crud leaves obvious areas of different toning lowering eye appeal and giving a potential "details" grade/cleaned when getting a coin slabbed. And this one will go to ANACS.

Nice find and listing!
Question re "crud" on a coin being submitted for grading. If such crud appears on the coin don't grading services sometimes reject it as having environmental damage? PCGS does this with some submissions I've seen. Is ANACS a better way to go if the coin has noticeable "crud"?

Good morning. I haven't commented or posted anything for quite some time but, I do pop in now and then to look and learn. I look at the inside rim next to the field and it is a consistent color and "roundness" in the 1st and 3rd image. Above, between, and below the " Cuds" the mid to outer rim is of a darker color(1st image) and lighter color(3rd image), due to the lighting, as if something has scraped the roundness off. To me I really notice this between the 2 pieces of crud John1 has pointed out on the rim as in the 3rd image below liberty. One last thing is that each end of the " Cuds" look pretty straight for a Cud. Please comment on my observation so I can determine how broad or tight my learning curve is getting. |

Oh, I forgot to ask if from my observation are these really Cuds? |

Thanks for all the great comments! And Durwood, yes they are Cuds, but specifically rim Cuds. So in this case they are limited to the rim and don't enter the fields and thus the inside curve of the rim stays nicely circular. What doesn't really show up in the overhead pics is that these Cuds rise above the level of the rim, showing a loss of part of the rim gutter. Yes, there is an unevenness to the rim itself in that area, but that is all just from the strike and related to the damaged gutter in that area. The ends of rim Cuds are typically slightly rounded, but like all die breaks can have pretty linear ends as well. There are a fair number of examples of rim Cuds from the teen years of Lincoln cents to check out on cuds-on-coins.com here: http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-1909-1958/ |
