Geohoarder Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 10:53 am please grade. I have a couple questions on this coin also. The date looks like the small version, but the letters look large. Also the weird blob at 11 o clock on the reverse rim. What's up with this coin?

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 11:13 am I'll say AU-55, small date rev. Of 42. Looks to be a rim Cud. Surfaces seem questionable. Could be lighting, but looks like it had an old cleaning, Devices look like they could have been lightly polished at one point. See what others say.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 11:14 am I'll say AU-50. Handsome example. Report this Post to the Staff
Geohoarder Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 11:21 am Does the Cud affect the value? Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 1:19 pm Grade looks like high AU. The uniform color suggests the coin was cleaned or dipped long ago and has since toned over. The cleaning (if any) does not look obvious or serious. The Cud should not hurt the value. Some collectors might like it. Nice example overall. Report this Post to the Staff
CentSearcher Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 1:40 pm A Cud is a mint error, so it is worth more. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 2:20 pm Not if you are looking for a problem free example for your collection. It is only worth a bit more to a Cud collector. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5670 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 3:21 pm I'd say AU-53. Possibly an old cleaning but would likely straight grade. The rim Cud probably won't affect the value for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 7:37 pm AU55, Yes it is a small date and it is a rim Cud. This is a WB-7 variety and is the most common of the 1842 Philadelphia minted halves with a R2 rarity. Edited by Heymikep 08/12/2020 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
