Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 10:30 am FYI, it shows a cross reference with SKH-1c-1955-03 as well. Thanks, Doug. http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-1950-1959/ Adding a few IDB listings have switched categories. Wondering if it could've been listed as one of them at one time? IDB-1c-1955-06 Open ID switched to a different category. IDB-1c-1955-07 Open ID switched to a different category. IDB-1c-1955-08 Open ID switched to a different category.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 11:20 am Doug I was so excited about the Retained Cud that I forgot to look at the other stuff. Thanks!! Any thought on a grade for it? Don't know if my pics are good enough for that, but just an idea. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 1:56 pm You can find out what it is worth by checking ebay on Friday. I put one of these up for auction last week. Also, on my coin and the one on COC you will find a rim Cud on the obverse. I talked to JC about it and he is looking into it. OP's coin seems like earlier die stage without the rim Cud. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-Lincol...STRK:MESE:IT Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 3:28 pm Thanks, I appreciate that info. I double checked my coin just in case I missed it - No Rim Cud. So now I am really curious what is going on with that area above the D in GOD? I thought it had taken a hit there - but all of our coins have it. 3rd pic from the top has a good closeup of it.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 5:32 pm It is my impression that above the D is where the die crack takes a somewhat odd turn and appears as a diagonal angling in to the rim towards the Cud instead of the more normal angling away from the Cud.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 7:04 pm @tropicalbats - It makes no sense - I assumed damage. But, on the other hand this is my first Retained Cud. Let me know what JC says as far as die stage. I did email him myself yesterday asking him to look at the post to see if it was an RIDB candidate. @OldMike - Thanks - kind of gets your blood pumping when something special comes along - probably only about 10 bucks worth - but, this is a great one for me.
