Fantastic Cud, and it could be MS (Mint State). |

Very nice Cud on that one - 2x2 that coin and label it well - the 'provenance' of this coins history lies with you and the fact you got it and had it since the first year of issue. Otherwise it becomes an unknown year SBA. Edited by Dearborn

what does 2x2 a coin mean?

A 2x2 is a special holder designed to protect mainly coins and modern ones are white cardboard with clear plastic to see the coin and measure 2 inches square, hence 2x2...  That is one legitimate mint error Cud on top of that!  |

to the CCF. Everyone is throwing numismatic terms at you - so lets start with a basic description: A Cud appears on a coin when a portion of the die adjacent to the rim cracks, separates and fails. Then when the coin is struck the missing portion of the failed die fills with metal that should have been a part of the normal design. Since there is only a fixed amount of metal in any planchet, the coins surface directly the Cud locations is starved of metal and always appears as a depressed surface. Your photos are too small in size for me to see many of these details in strong resolution - but you should be able to see them for yourself. |

If I may, I think a word was left out that would help to make this sentence read better.

(I hope I read your comment correctly, if not well then.... call me a goof-ball |

@Dearborn - thank you for the addition, it is what I was thinking but somehow the thought did not get to my fingers. Your version is accurate.  |

I missed this one when it was posted, what a great coin! Superb Cud and in great shape. No way to put an absolute value on something this rare and desirable, but Pretty sure this one would go somewhere north of $350 and maybe a fair ways north of that. |
