My guess would be 1989 because you can eliminate most by the curve.

Not an expert but think this area was pressed/smashed by another cent. I would also say 89 as you can make out a smashed 9. WOLF

Is that line raised ?
If so, that whole crescent shaped area may just
an acrylic plastic covering or glue etc. I can see
the 0 through it. 1980

Nice pics. by the way. Just not sure though but you can tell if the line is copper/zinc. or just a coating of plastic etc.

Look at the reverse- the area directly opposite the Cud will have a weak strike. |

I thought I could make out a 198"9" too. Mind games I suppose.

I think it's a 1988. I think that because in the newest picture of the whole coin you can see the date better. To me the last number can't be a nine because the curve is not long enough. I think the small mark under the date is making people think it's a 1989. That is just stray metal. To be honest... You will never get a positive date. It's just that kind of coin. Very cool!!

Unless you have a somewhat hard to find RDV-006, it is an '89 based on the designers initials on the reverse.

Is this considered a Retained Cud? It seems to me that with regular Cuds, you wouldn't be able to see the rim. |

 Reverse of this coin is a RDV 006. Any possible die matches on this from the Variety Vista Site to see if it is a 1988-RDV-006? *Real nice find BTW! |

The "rim" visible with the Cud area is the upset area from the upset mill that is present on the planchets before they are struck. A Retained Cud is a die crack that goes rim to rim with movement in the broken piece...in other words the broken piece is still there and strikes the coin. Definitely NOT a 1980 cent - wrong design, wrong metal, wrong everything. Definitely a 1989 cent. Shape of LIBERTY, reverse style both indicate that is the correct date. |
