Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/01/2007 10:40 am Lots of Cuds...wow! The reverse picture doesn't show the details very well, but I'm inclined to say VF35/XF40. The leaves show decent detail and the cross at the top has the outline showing. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 02/01/2007 1:07 pm What a great find with all those Cuds! I like the piece that was struck through on the reverse also. Great coin! On the obverse, I see very faint signs of wear on the leaves. The rest of the details are outstanding. On the reverse, I see slight wear on the ends of the rays and the numeral looks a little flat, but this may be from the strike. I think this coin makes EF40. Report this Post to the Staff
cecoins Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 02/01/2007 1:43 pm thanks susanlynn9. I like this coin alot myself. I was think about selling it but my 6 year old daughter is into coins and I might just save it for her. I only paid $40 for it from a local dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
