Been friends with this owner for a while and he always is willing to deal with me. Makes it a fun morning. Would appreciate your thoughts on a grade for this one. Thank you in advance...

srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3244 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 1:46 pm Another question.... There seems to be some doubling on the reverse and a strange ( Cud) in the tail of the letter 'A' that my arrow points to. Can anyone tell me whether this is doubling and what the A Cud might be? Thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 2:26 pm This coin just gets up to XF40 IMHO, but it is a VF35. The A " Cud" would not be a Cud at all Ceausescu Cuds involve the rim. That is some sort of Die Deterioration or a die chip. I couldn't tell you if it was a doubled die or not.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 11:48 pm EF40, details, die chip, cleaned/somewhat retoned. I bet the slight shelf double on the two indicated letters + that die chip are probably diagnostic of a particular die variety; these coins had as many varieties as large cents, and possibly even more. I'd say it's an attractive coin in a grade that's difficult to come by -- lots of these are either AU, on one side, or low grade with environmental damage & porosity/corrosion issues on the other side. Yours would look good in a type set. :) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.
