Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 03:53 am This one is a head scratcher for me. It doesn't look like a thin planchet, but there isn't enough wear or corrosion to account for the low weight.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 08:24 am can't read the numbers on your scale. How about an edge on image with another coin of normal weight? Collecting since 1972.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 09:59 am I do not know why the weight is off but you have a nice Retained Cud or a Pre Cud. Looks separated so I will say Retained. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73946 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 12:49 pm Nice Retained Cud! Not sure why the weight is off. I am not seeing any signs of weakness anywhere. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 2:42 pm Yes, it is a Retained Cud - there is some movement - I'm more curious as to why she does not get more involved with the diagnosis of her coins. to date, we get minimal information and leaves the rest up to us to figure out what is going on.
