This is one of my favorite error coins. This two-cent piece shows a
Retained Cud on the reverse along with a few other minor errors. It is listed on Cuds-on-Coins as RDC-2c-1865-04R. It would seem that this area of the die was susceptible to breakage as there are several
Two Cent coins with
Retained Cuds in about the same position.
The coin also shows slight areas of
Grease Fill on the ribbon with IN GOD WE TRUST, the last S of STATES and on the last A of AMERICA. The last D in UNITED has a missing serif at the top.
At the end of the ribbons on the reverse and on the wheat stalks you can see many small die cracks, some of which reach the rim.
