Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/28/2019 9:07 pm Here's a 3 cent nickel with two nice Retained Cuds. Cuds-On-Coins list it as RCD-3c(N)-1865-13R & 14R. I would put the grade at VF20, but want to see what everyone thinks. All opinions and comments welcome! Click on the photo for a larger image.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 10/29/2019 10:34 pm Very cool! It looks like the dies clashed after the anvil die displaced. I see what may be a clash of the upper RCD in the field to the left of "ME and to the right of "CA" in AMERICA. The weakness in "RICA" of AMERICA also reflects the RCD displacement @CoinHunter27 noted when this coin was struck. I don't think that die was long for this world. You sure have an eye for spotting great coins! Report this Post to the Staff
