coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2018 5:03 pm Obverse looks like a die crack so far. The reverse looks like a slight alteration on the upper crack, just enough to call it a Retained Cud. Countdown 42 Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74881 Posts	Posted 06/20/2018 5:08 pm I was wondering if you can get better pictures of the obverse Die Crack? It looks like a Rim To Rim Die Crack, but it could be a Retained Cud, if the piece moved a little bit. The reverse could be a Retained Cud, but better pictures would help as well.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3663 Posts	Posted 06/20/2018 9:25 pm I think you knocked it out of the park on this one. It appears to be RCD-1c-1940S-16 Stage B & 17R (unlisted). The Retained Cuds and mm location look right. Cuds-on-coins has an image for RCD-1c-1940S-16 Stage A & 17R and has a separate image RCD-1c-1940S-16 Stage B that looks exactly like your obverse Retained Cud. Significantly, cuds-on-coins states for the Stage B that "The reverse die has been changed." Your coin appears to have the original reverse die. I think you may have a transitional coin before the reverse die change that is unlisted on cuds-on-coins. Report this Post to the Staff
