jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 5:03 pm Yeah, you can see them, but they have colour bands. Like one bad bit in the JPEG throws off the render. Maybe save them as WEBP and upload again? Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 9:03 pm @a1, still something kinda weird going on with your pics, but I'm seeing some with green bands. Anyways, Abe's shoulder looks like it might have a RIDB to me. The dies from the mid-1950 cents were definitely used well past their normal lifetimes.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 11:23 pm Looks like a very nice RIDB to me. Looking at CoC website I see a match to: RIDB-1c-1955-20 You can see it about halfway down the page here: https://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-c...k-1909-1958/ Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff

A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/22/2025 5:14 pm Thanks rmpsrpms for identifying this error. I looked at the link you sent and it is an exact look alike of RIDB-Ic-1955-20. I was so excited about the error of the date, that I never saw the Retained Cud. Now a big question, should an error like this be sent to say ANACS to have it labeled as this specific error and slabbed. I know the coin will not grade high, so I wouldn't send it to PCGS. Any opinions? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 07/22/2025 7:05 pm I think that you would not realize enough of a financial benefit from slabbing this coin to make that step worthwhile. If it was mine, I'd store it in a 2x2 and write the attribution on the label.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 07/22/2025 9:05 pm I agree with @Spence. Only very valuable coins benefit from slabbing, unless for some reason you're collecting minor varieties and errors in ANACS slabs.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 07/22/2025 9:55 pm It is a nice RIDB on the shoulder as for the image issues, I see no gray, just a green band, but the coin is still visible.
