numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 09:36 am I think this particular obverse die broke in the area above the cap and below AT in STATES resulting in a large horizontal Cud. Also the hair on the coin is a nice finishing touch... Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36800 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 10:44 am NS, it's still a nice coin even with the rim hits, if genuine. I've never seen such large die breaks on one of these, both sides of the coin, especially on the wreath. You might want to weight and check the specs on the coin when it arrives. The color of the surfaces has that China look to me. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 10:49 am Will definitely check it out, thanks. The seller is in the UK so it will take longer than usual to get in hand. Does the lettering on the reverse look doubled? Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 11:18 am AU-55 for lack of luster . Rim hits and scratch on face is bothersome but otherwise nice coin . Report this Post to the Staff
morganhuls Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 02/09/2019 1:32 pm First look I thought VF-35, but I'm going to say a XF-45 or a AU-50. I have mixed thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3658 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 5:26 pm No opinion on the grade, but you coin has a listed interior die break. It is IDB-10c-1892-01 on cuds-on-coins.com. Great find, and your coin is a much better example than the plate coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 6:54 pm This is a classic NS snare. Great price, but... I admire his tenacity! Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 9:31 pm Thanks fortcollins! I was actually on that site, but wasn't able to find the coin/variety you found. I think I also see the 2 interior die breaks at the top of the wreath that are also found in this variety. Wonderful folks on this forum. Also learned from this site that Cuds are die breaks at the rim and all others are interior die breaks. Edited by numismatic student 02/10/2019 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 12:32 pm This one came in. Looks like the seller's photos but a little darker. I may need to contact the publisher of the Cud reference because this coin appears to have three additional freestanding internal die breaks and a die chip in the reverse that are not pointed out on the reference pictures (IDB-10c-1892-01http://cuds-on-coins.com/interior-d...892-to-1916/), even though the breaks are clearly visible in the worn out coin reverse plate photo in the reference.
