jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 554 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 2:25 pm Can you take a picture that shows the whole coin and the reverse? I am almost inclined to say a monster Cud... Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 4:44 pm Looks like it took a severe hit.The metal flow is pushed up and over. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 4:59 pm It looks like the die cracked so bad that it is actually out of round and some ( a lot ) of the die is missing producing this amazing defective die mint error. I doubt there are many of this one around, they probably caught it soon enough with this much damage. Excellent find! Report this Post to the Staff
Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 5:43 pm See how the upper rim goes inward...could it be some kind of crazy Cud? Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 6:09 pm Shows what I know.I didn't notice the rim myself.I was just focused on the what looks like a gouge that runs across "Trust" Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 7:29 pm Jasper...I am not saying that is what it is...I was just asking a question...I am unsure..could be a few things....but agreed if its not PMD..its pretty sweet Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 10:04 pm I don't want you to get too excited on my guess, but I think you have a much better error here than your everyday Cud. I know we have some very knowledgeable error people here in this forum so hopefully somebody will come along and put a description to it. Why do I keep thinking of The Elephant Man and him saying " I am NOT an animal !"? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 09:39 am Sorry to me it just looks like PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 1:22 pm Let me ask this .. that area just after T in TRUST ... is it raised higher than, or at least up to the rim before it, or is is lower like a dent? Is it raised all the way over from the T to the top of his head at 12:00 along where the rim should be? Report this Post to the Staff
tamshowoff Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 7:39 pm Looks like the metal on that slice has been taken away and flipped over the rim. Hope these three photos help. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 9:29 pm Uh ... I don't think that's so good of a sign if it is cut away and pushed over the edge of the rim. Even if it was a "struck through" error where something got in between the die and the planchet when it was struck, the collar would have retained the edge and that blob wouldn't be there ... I don't think so anyways. It's starting to look like an animal, and an abused one. I thought that the affected area looked raised to me like a " Cud". But hey, I dunno for sure.
