tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6114 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 3:02 pm That's a very nice Cud! It is listed as CU-5C-1979-01. Fun fact it was originally listed by our own Mike Diamond. And for a relative value, something in the $30 zone. Edited by tropicalbats 12/12/2021 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 4:05 pm Welcome to CCF. That's a nice die break. Called a Cud and forms when part of the hammer die broke off the edge, leaving a hollow for the metal to flow into. Report this Post to the Staff
