Yeah, you can see them, but they have colour bands. Like one bad bit in the JPEG throws off the render. Maybe save them as WEBP and upload again?

I can open all your images very well, so no problem at all for me to see them. Nice cracks on your coin!  Quote:

The bottom 3/4 of the picture is sold grey. Must have been my iPad, it shows up OK on my laptop |

@a1, still something kinda weird going on with your pics, but I'm seeing some with green bands. Anyways, Abe's shoulder looks like it might have a RIDB to me. The dies from the mid-1950 cents were definitely used well past their normal lifetimes.

Thanks rmpsrpms for identifying this error. I looked at the link you sent and it is an exact look alike of RIDB-Ic-1955-20. I was so excited about the error of the date, that I never saw the Retained Cud. Now a big question, should an error like this be sent to say ANACS to have it labeled as this specific error and slabbed. I know the coin will not grade high, so I wouldn't send it to PCGS. Any opinions? |

I think that you would not realize enough of a financial benefit from slabbing this coin to make that step worthwhile. If it was mine, I'd store it in a 2x2 and write the attribution on the label.

I agree with @Spence. Only very valuable coins benefit from slabbing, unless for some reason you're collecting minor varieties and errors in ANACS slabs.

It is a nice RIDB on the shoulder
as for the image issues, I see no gray, just a green band, but the coin is still visible.

In my final post regarding this coin, I want to thank all who reviewed, commented and gave me very sound advise. Since joining the forum, I have learned so much more than all the hyped up videos on YouTube, which can often be misleading. Again... my thanks to all.
