Clwang Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 05:10 am Could it be a foreign planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 06:41 am That is a bit low on weight. Rather than an off-metal planchet, I'd sooner think you have a thin planchet. That might explain the overall weakness of Abe's head. I'm not positive though and look forward to a good discussion on this one.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 08:00 am Agree with Spence (above). Nice reverse pre-cud. Would be interesting to see an end-on shot of the coin (to get a feel for thickness). Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 09:06 am Nice pre-cud indeed, and thin planchets do show up now and then. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 09:18 am yep, a very nice pre-cud indeed. Possible small lamination on the obverse. Collecting since 1972.

Clwang Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 11:48 am I will post an end-on shot and thickness later tonight! Edited by Clwang 05/02/2023 11:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 1:31 pm It is pre Cud RCD-1C-1940S-03R. You can see that one, and verify yours, at: http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...-cuds-1940s/ As noted, the weight is indicative of a thin-rolled planchet, so seems like a pretty nice find overall!

Clwang Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 4:28 pm Is it worth much? Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 5:07 pm The pre Cuds on 1940-S, and there are a lot of them, tend to go for $8-10. The thin planchet would probably double that, so likely in the $16-20 range. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 7:26 pm With that much underweight I wouldn't think it would strike up that well. But I don't know what else it would be. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
