Personally, I think Dbrablec's coin is CUD-A-RIFFIC! exactly as it is.
I understand that there is a lot of emphasis placed on errors showing their dates. Sure, sometimes having a date present is a must; like if, for example, you're trying to assemble a complete dated & mintmarked collection of Jefferson's with big old
Cuds on their obverses. In this case you've got to have the date. Or, if you were interested in the degree of the premium the coin could command. Or, if you simply just prefer
Cuds -or error coins in general- with their dates showing.
BUT! THIS IS A BIG BEAUTIFUL
Cud!
If we're talking about a
Cud of this SIZE, or the aesthetics of the
Cud like this and its location, then we're talking about a fantastic rolling blob of metal pouring out of the rim perfectly into the now field-less space behind Thomas' back, neck, and head- looking kinda' mean, like it's bullying him or pushing him from behind- or a lot like a headless-jelly-monster-bust lurking there, having already eaten the RTY in "Liberty" as an appetizer and just waiting to attach itself to his hair and then swallow old Jefferson whole, and I'd say it just wouldn't have this effect or look like this to me if it didn't just happen to be in this area; the area of the date.
So I just wouldn't say that it's "Too bad it's dateless". I'd say:
IT'S AN AWESOME NICKEL! With an AWESOME BIG-BLOBING
Cud!
PLUS+ after-all! DBRABLEC FOUND IT IN A ROLL!
