I have a question and I might sound naive. my Cud book lists these as being from 1979. How do they know that if the last 2 digits of the date is all covered up. |

I am pretty sure the Cud was discovered the 1st year the SBA was minted which would have to make it a 1979 since none were minted before and the 1980's weren't out yet. There also may have been some die markers but I think it was my first assumption. |

Still interesting that ANACS defers to 'no date' and won't call them 1979's.

I have one of them too, on a near date. The above three Cuds aren't near date. |

Beautiful progression...all in great shape as well! I've actually seen a photo of the middle one before, I think in Alan Herbert's Price Guide to Mint Errors.

That $400 price tag seems way high for that minor a Cud (second ebay example). |

As mentioned by Zimmy, these are far date SBAs so it has to be 1979.

There are two reasons that I know that it is a 1979 SBA dollar. The first is the way that I found one. I was putting the coins into circulation by getting rolls at banks and then spending them. Soon after they were available, I went to a bank in Wheeling, WV. After I got a new roll, in opened it as I was walking up the sidewalk. I wanted a few out of the roll because I was going to buy something. As I separated a few of the coins, I noticed the Cud over the date. Because I knew nothing about error coins, I had no idea what it was. I rubbed it to see if would come off. The second reason that I know that it is a 1979 is because I have an earlier step in the progression with die cracks (only) in the area of the date. The date is still visible and there is no doubt that it is at the same location. |

 What an amazing set. Thanks for sharing the pics. It must have been great to find these. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Zok, it would be awesome to be able to add your earlier die state to my progression. Can you post an image?
