hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 6:50 pm hmmm interesting. You're missing the date unfortunately. If you determine it's a copper cent, I'd guess late 70's from how the strike looks Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/27/2011 7:34 pm That is a massive cud A Cud is a specific type of die break that affects the face and shank of a die. Yours appears to be multi-stage(at least three breaks are involved) and the weakness on the reverse is a tell-tale diagnostic for a Cud. I would place the minimum value at $25 but probably a bit higher for that size. Report this Post to the Staff

sjaak301 New Member Netherlands 31 Posts	Posted 09/28/2011 2:23 pm @John1: Well, actually it's not mine (yet). The coin belongs to a colleague coin collector, who found it on a flee market in a little box with several old coins. He offered it to me and I hesitated to buy it because I am a little short of money at the moment (a big auction coming up in two weeks). After reading the posts I decided to say yes to it, so in a few days I will be the proud owner. @all: Thank you for your efforts! Report this Post to the Staff
