tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 01:00 am I know there is some debate over whether Cuds are errors or not, but I'm still of the opinion that a coin made with broken equipment is an error coin. This one wasn't a pick, but was spotted by a friend of mine and was listed exactly as is and more or less correctly. However, at $40 for an unlisted Retained Cud, it just seemed like a fair deal so I picked it up. Images have been sent to JC for possible inclusion as a new listing. 1909 VDB Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - Retained Cud Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 12:40 pm Great looking 1909 & Retained Cud and I like the metal deficiency along the obverse rim opposite. $40 was a great price for this.

mb560600 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 5:27 pm Nice error coin, TB. I concur with your opinion that a coin made by broken equipement is an error coin. Who disagrees? And why would they? Report this Post to the Staff
MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2462 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 7:32 pm nice pick up! I would have bought that for $40. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/21/2025 10:15 pm Thanks all for the great comments! As for whether it is an error, there was a push to make things like this called "die varieties" or something like that. I never really agreed with that although it's not a bad argument as Cuds are attributed like varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
