semvhu New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 09/20/2006 11:38 pm I have the most hopes for this penny actually being a real error coin than any of the other coins I've found so far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...ippeddie.jpg The raised section at the bottom appears to be the result of a chipped die. Take that remark with a grain of salt, though, as I have ZERO experience in identifying coins with such errors. It's definitely part of the original form of the coin, nothing added later in any way.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/21/2006 11:47 am You have a nice Cud there! Difference between a Cud and a die chip is the fact that a Cud will ALWAYS affect the edge and shaft of the die and be located at the rim of a coin. Notice the corresponding weakness at the same spot on the reverse, this is a telltale sign of a real Cud. Die chips are usually just curiosities and don't really carry a premium but Cuds do have a premium depending on location and size. Your cent would probably be worth a few dollars.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 01:59 am I'm not sure how to find out exactly what it's worth, but at least in the $20-$25 range. Cuds like this one are generally highly desirable among error collectors, especially those collecting Cuds by die and stage. This example appears to be defect free and a nice grade for a 1988 cent...which often suffer from corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
semvhu New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 10/02/2006 1:22 pm So where do you guys take your coins if you desire to sell them? If a coin I find isn't worth much I'm just going to keep it for the novelty. But a penny worth $20 - $25, I'd actually like to sell it and buy myself a nice meal. I might check out the phone book later today. Report this Post to the Staff
