Just purchased this 19XX-S Standing Liberty quarter with an obverse cud, I have never seen anything like it on a Standing Liberty quarter. I have already sent pictures of it to cuds-on-coins but what does CCF think of it? Has anyone else seen something like it before? Also, what would a good value be?

I think the reverse, opposite the cud would have a weak spot that I am not seeing. John1

Quote: I think the reverse, opposite the cud would have a weak spot that I am not seeing. That was the first thing I looked for and I agree, it's not there. So the cud has been faked and nicely blended in. ORThe wear is sufficient (AG-03) to have "washed away" that clue. At least I'm confident that the coin is a Recessed Date (1925-1930).
Describe it as if there were no picture. Picture it as if there were no description.

You would think that a prominate CUD such as this would have an auction history of other examples that would have surfaced in the last 90 years or so. I haven't found one in the auction histories I've searched. I'm thinking we are looking at a combination of PMD and wear. Hope I'm wrong.

As for the OP coin, it is a cool example and I hope it's a legit cud as well.

John1 - It's definitely the same coin.

I see what appears to be a large and significant cud (well worn) on the obverse at 6:00 - with absolutely no corresponding evidence on the reverse at 12:00.
Honestly saying that I am skeptical this is a genuine cud ... I strongly suspect based on the photographs provided that the obverse 'blob' is post mint damage.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.finewoodcrafter.comToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

Can you post edge pics of the area near the cud?

Sure, I will later today. If I remember correctly, it looks totally normal.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, JC Stevens listed the coin today for me on his website (bottom of the page I posted a link to above).
My name is Devin, and I have been collecting now for around 4 years. I love all US coinage. I set up at coin shows and sell on eBay with my dad. Visit my website: https://www.InGodWeTrustCoinsAndCurrency.com/

Ok, here is a pic of the edge right where the cud is.

We can 'cuss this coin on this forum till the cows come home or the OP can package it up and send it off. My suggestion is to just send it off for TPG error authentication. Good luck! I hope it's the real deal!

The only thing I can really say is that its probably a 1927S and you would never know.

That is a real cud. It is a 1930-S retained cud. Here is one that is not quite as worn. Information can be found in Robert H. Knauss book Standing Liberty quarter Varieties and Errors.

As an added note. I have about a dozen of these all the way up to the finest known. A PCGS MS-63. I think there a couple on eBay right now. Nice find
