Rosalita Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 12:39 pm Hi guys, I have this 1984 Lincoln Penny with a large error on the obverse rim (left). Can some explain what this is and how this happens? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 2:13 pm Looks a little like a later stage of #44, but perhaps someone else can help confirm whether this Cud is listed yet. http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-cuds-1984/ Nice find!

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 5:14 pm It's also slightly misaligned towards the K:4 position. I've seen rim Cuds that were accentuated because of this. It's like the rim has Cuds that really can't be seen unless the coin was struck with a misaligned die. Has anyone else noticed this?

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 5:52 pm Based on it's length, small depth and slightly jagged borders I'm leaning more towards a folded Rim Fin rather than a Cud. Still nice to find, either way. Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/29/2020 12:25 am I'm with Greasyfingers and HGK3. I'd think folded over Rim Fin. Report this Post to the Staff

Daves Errors Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 09/29/2020 01:55 am I think I am gonna have to agree with HGK3 on this one. Can you get closer pics might be easer to tell. Also see if you can push it up using a toothpick. Edited by Daves Errors 09/29/2020 01:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Altec12 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 09/29/2020 11:33 am What is K-4 position mean. I see the area in question, I'm just uninformed as to the K-4's lable. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/29/2020 12:20 pm I'm sorry! I usually explain the terminology I use. The K:4 position would be the same as saying 4 O'clock position. The K followed by a number from 1 to 12 uses the numbers on a clock face as a reference to the position on the coin. Your coin's obverse die looks like it was shifted slightly towards that area. While it could be a flattened Rim Fin as the others have said, I still think it's a rim Cud. I have an 1881 nickel III¢ piece with almost exactly the same look. It's even shifted to the K:4 position. You can find images of my coin here. http://goccf.com/t/358518 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
