I looked at this from all angles, and lighting, and think it is a " Cud" or "lamination" error (prevalent on the penny).    |

coinfrog, It is possibly a "lamination" issue, like I stated. " Cud or lamination". There is a lot of lamination issues, like I stated, and actually a majority of "lamination" is "post strike", and occurs over time. There is a corrosion that takes place inside the coin. So the edge of the coin likely has become detached via corrosion. ...but why do I have to explain. Can't people on here be "positive"? |

Looks like damage to me as well. Deep gouge right below it is where the metal came from.

Can't people on here be "positive"? It you're looking for cheerleaders to tell you only want you want to hear you've come to the wrong place. We will always be polite and professional as we render our expert opinions based on many years of combined numismatic knowledge. But that does not mean we'll necessarily agree with your initial views. So - and here I'll be 'positive' .... You have shown us an absolutely lovely circulation strike damaged coin that displaced metal and has now experienced friendly circulation wear to the point of being able to be mis-characterized as a potential error. Hooray - thanks for showing it to us!
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |

It probably wont change any minds but try soaking in acetone and share a closeup. It has suffered from circulation flattening on all the device and the it sure looks like the area below the "L" is completely separate from the rim which would "disqualify" it as a Cud. Maybe it's my eyes but something looks off for it being "moved metal" from a hit as well, but this is the most likely scenario. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Sorry that we have disappointed you, that is not our intention. We welcome you here but that will not change that your coin is damaged. The L took a hit and moved metal to look like something else.

WOW, ok, we are not always 'yes' people here, If you were to post up a 1957 chevy hubcap and told us that it was a rare Walking Liberty half, we would not agree with you just to make you happy. We will, however, give you our own opinion and view of the object being presented. So, that being said, Your coin presents like a possible smell lamination, not a Cud. May br a hit from the south that lifted the metal up a bit - which would indicate damage. But in any of the above scenarios this event on this coin would not raise it's value or make it rare.

By visual definition of a " Cud" and or "lamination error", this does not appear to be either. I think it took a hit and dislodged the rim. Also, not close enough for a double. IMHO Quote:

to the CCF Don't know what is below the L, but it looks like there might be a lam going up the shoulder. And lams are on the coin before they are struck, they don't magically appear later. They might show a little more with age, but they form when the copper is rolled out.

I have to give credits to CU this time. Yes is detached surface metal due to the age, circulation and environments. The Tin in the alloy do not help long time in those conditions.
The rest it is just a badly hit coin in the circulation. I do not see any error or variety here.
To the OP question my answer is clear. " If you know better then us why you spend your and our time?" Helping it is a quality, contradicting and negatives approaches are defaults.
NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. FIRST THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL. THEN, THEY WILL BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.
