Liag49 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 08/04/2024 3:11 pm I'm trying to learn a bit about attributions but there's so much to dig through and things can be quite confusing for a novice. I'm giving it a try on these, if anyone would be kind enough to reiview my work I'd appreciate it. (I know the rule is one coin per post but these are kind of the same so I'm bending the law a bit - forgive me) Researched on Cuds-on-coins 1) RIDB-1c-1955-04 large crack on head and crack through the jacket 2)RIDB-1c-1955-06 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74504 Posts	Posted 08/04/2024 3:41 pm The first coin is a Retained Interior Die Break, but not the listing you mentioned. Neat find. Second coin might show a Lamination. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/04/2024 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19183 Posts	Posted 08/04/2024 4:28 pm I'll just respond to the first coin--yes, cracked skull and lower bust die crack. Too, you have what is known as a 'poor man's doubled die'--a Die Deterioration issue. Note the last 5 in the date. Report this Post to the Staff

Liag49 Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 08/05/2024 07:51 am Thanks All ! Baby steps... it's a long hard journey. Errers and Varieties...the one I felt most sure of was the RIDB...04 due to the lower bust die break marker. Is it another number or does it not qualify at all for some reason?
