Two Dollars Coins With Cud

I agree with Nancy. They are certainly collectable, but I wouldn't bother buying one. I got a $1 2001 IYOV double rim Cud today. I must admit that it was the only rim Cud in $1000, and that they are are becoming a little scarcer, but they are still around and all you need to do is a little noodling.

This is interesting - I just took a look at Yass' examples and I'm quite puzzled. It seems the Cuds are predominately on the left - any reason why? I was expecting a reasonable 50-50% on both left and right but most of the examples so far are on the left. Nancyc seems to have a better distribution of the Cuds.

Pulled a 2007 2 dollar coin with a rim Cud today - also at the bottom left of the Elizabeth side.

Define 'folded rim'?

Hey nancy, about the coins I sent you.... Lets play a game... I say it'll reach on Monday...

Ooohh! 2007 $2 with a rim Cud. Nice one!

That one above is a regular old standard rim Cud.

I don't have the camera at present (it's not mine), so maybe a description might not go astray until the camera's available.

What I call a 'folded rim', or 'rim fold' occurs when for whatever reason one area of the coin ends up with an edge that's unusually high & this edge 'folds' over on to the rim. I believe they're caused by a 'collar clash' during the minting process.

The result is a bit similar to a Rim Cud, but does not cover the entire width of the rim. Some are a bit like a oval that's been pulled from both ends, wider in the middle & tapering on both ends., others are just uneven shapes & blobby looking.

This is what I have:

Here's a couple more that I found a while ago:





I found 2000 2 dollar coins are pretty difficult to find - never dreamt of finding one with a Cud!
