2017 "P" Penny Super rare one of a kind Cud Error Tear drop. The coin is already rare coin only year penny made with "p" print ever made celebrating 225 year anniversary they snuck this "p" as a special hidden collector coin. No more with "p" will be made. This " Cud" appears to be a perfect teardrop falling from Lincoln's eye. Cuds are rare and to get one like this is incredible. It's like hitting the lottery. Why would any of you appraise it for and have any good places to sell besides ebay?   Edited by Jdaddy87

@Jdaddy87, first welcome to CCF. Second, while I really appreciate your enthusiasm, here are a couple thoughts that may rain on your parade a little bit. First, this tear-shaped defect is not a Cud, as those must involve the rim (see this website for more information about Cuds: http://cuds-on-coins.com). Second, better pics would help to confirm, but I am not convinced that it is a mint error at all. There are many reasons why a small area on a copper-plated cent might be raised. Can you please provide a close-up photo of just this area? Finally, if it is an error (such as a die gouge), then yours is very likely not the only coin struck with this error. I agree that at first look, it is interesting, but we just need more information to assess what you actually have there. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 to the CCF I've asked the staff to move your post to a more appropriate forum to receive expert attention. Your coin does not have a Cud. It might have a die gouge or chip ... would be helpful if you can post an in-focus photograph of the area in question. It could also be a copper plating issue ... again better photos are needed While interesting, such coins are not really valuable ... you can check out ebay completed auctions for a sense of prices. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artEdited by nickelsearcher

Thank you both! Yes, super optimistic & very novice. Wasn't sure if it was a ' Cud' or not. It is a small raised bump. Hope these pics help!    |

It well could be a tear drop caused by Lincoln Himself expressing his feelings about the new reverse of his coin. Although it may well be a Cud, must not something that will make it worth millions. |

If it's anything its just a die chip.

Looks like a circular "ring" of debris to me. I've seen these on Lincoln cents many times. Crazyb0 explained they were due to the washing process at the mint, I think. If it's raised, it's a die chip.
At any rate, it doesn't appear to be a rare error. Looks like it's worth face value, unfortunately.

A raised portion may also be a very common plating issue of zinc corrosion caused by a foreign element beneath the copper plating and zinc core. These "zinc zits" can sometimes be "deflated" by pressing hard with a toothpick. That is quite large to be a die chip, and too circular for your standard gouge, my guess is zinc rot.

It's just giving the effect of being raised but all details there can be seen its a stain from the rinsing process the stupid black spots that riddle the new cents nothing but a stain keep looking

Just a stain, it's not an error at all. You'll see this a lot on newer cents.

It's a stain, not an error.

I don't know about these guys but I like. I would not let it go for at least double face value. LOL Rock on and keep looking. Stay positive.  |
