Roamingbear16 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 8:14 pm @spence I'll check in a few hours when I get home. I thought it was a Cud but under my phone scope it looks to be not a bump but indented. It was something I've never seen before Report this Post to the Staff

Roamingbear16 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 8:27 pm @coinfrog it's weird because it's like a reverse Cud, it's not bulging out it's indented, kinda like a smooth plow went over it. There's nothing on it, it's lower than the actual coin if that makes sense. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 9:12 pm What does the reverse look like? It looks like another cent was pressed against this one Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 9:25 pm Thanks for the quick posting of that picture. The reverse look bent up and a little crushed. So I would call this PMD (vise job) at this point.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Roamingbear16 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 9:31 pm @Dearborn if that's the case I don't feel too bad. I bought it on a whim just by looking at the front of the coin with no scope on me. I paid 7.00 for it thinking it was a Cud until I got it home and got a closer look at it.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 9:38 pm Well, you are not out too much, I have made a few silly purchases as well, I chalk it up as a learning experience. (I still have the coins too) In your own defense, by just looking at the obverse only, it does look interesting.. I had a hunch that the reverse may show the whole story - (which it did) This is the main reason we always ask that posters always post up full coin both sides of their coin, because sometimes we will see something that others may miss Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 02/01/2023 9:38 pm @ Frog, the reverse pic was posted just above Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
