PaulyD Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 01/31/2024 09:27 am Let me know what you think. I found this at the bottom of a bag of 1960's nickels. Just learning about Cuds and error coins, so not sure if just damage. Let me know what you think. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 01/31/2024 09:31 am Well not a Cud, but it appears to have been re-struck before it was completely ejected from the coining chamber.

PaulyD Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 01/31/2024 09:35 am @John1 - "A piece of the perimeter of the die breaking away. They can be any shape depending on the shape of the piece that broke off the die." I'm VERY novice to error and varieties so if I sound ignorant...I am. Learning as best and fast as I can!

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15469 Posts	Posted 01/31/2024 7:04 pm This is a double struck coin, with the 2nd strike on the order of 5% or so - and a nice legitimate error. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
