cspringer71 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 9:51 pm UPDATED! Just a reminder I'm at still very new to this. While going through these I also looked up and read about things I found, when possible as some of my searching words didn't always bring up what I was trying to find answers to& . I believe I did find several what they call Cud errors. These were both on the same 1957 penny. Thanks in advance for any info!

Dearborn Moderator United States 97084 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 10:19 pm Agreed, not sure how to reply with each pic. But I'll try, most of them are die chips. the '50' looks like post mint damage. any of the letters or numbers that are filled is where the center post broke off. There is one BIE in there where it looks like the letter 'I' is in-between the 'B and E' Hence 'BIE' The long 'cracks' you see in some of the photos looks like possible lamination issues.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97084 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 10:23 pm oh yeah! ' Cuds' are always involving the rim of the coin, never on the interior of the coin. Collecting since 1972.

cspringer71 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 10:29 pm Thank you! I edited this and will do one coin at a time. Just didn't want to overload with too many posts but I guess it's better that way#129318;#8205;#9792;#65039; Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 04:17 am . I see no one mentioned it so I guess I will. It is best not to post photos of coins on a monitors screen. Best to post directly from memory card to CCF. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 06:53 am @csp, from the two pics remaining in this thread, I see that both the number 9 and the letter B were struck from dies with broken posts. This is pretty common, but still a fun find.
