djhughes Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 9:38 pm I should have kept this one cause I may never be this lucky again but error coins are not really my thing, but it sure is fun looking for them and finding one has really got me going. Now everyday after work I will pick up rolls of coins here and there all over town and look. I guess I have searched about $100 this week. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/08/2011 7:05 pm ARGH! I was bumping up the bid on the coin when... THE POWER COMPANY DID A ROLLING BLACKOUT FOR HALF AN HOUR! I really wanted this coin! It's 105 degrees here and I guess the power demand was too high so they killed this half of town. It's only the 2nd time they've done this in the last few years and they had to do it NOW! I found some more information on the coin and found it refereed to as an Atheist Cud Cent, because the Cud blocks the word GOD. I bid right before the power went out, I was the high bidder and by the time it came back on, it was gone. Oh well, at the very least I was able to get you a better price on the coin. sigh ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15489 Posts	Posted 07/08/2011 7:41 pm Indeed ... sold on E-Pray for $29 ... now we now the absolute value of this coin. For a 1 cent roll find cost ... I make this out to be a profit margin of 2900% (less fees, etc). Too bad we can't find these everyday.

djhughes Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/08/2011 8:10 pm I hate to hear your power went out like that. My power went out for awhile but it came back on right before the bidding ended. Thanks for making a bid. It sold for $29 and yeah that is good for a penny I found in a roll. I'm going to miss it but it will be on its way to Texas in the morning. I may never find another but I sure plan to try. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/08/2011 10:03 pm If you look at "Bid History" you'll see I had 4 bids. I started at 10.26, then 19.99, 26.00 and 28.00. My last bid would have been 35.00 with about 4 seconds left, but it's hard to bid with no connection to the internet because the power is off.

djhughes Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 08:03 am I sold the 1990 Cud error on ebay last night, It sold for $29. I think it may have went higher. I had a guy email me and he said he was bidding on it when he power went out. Said he was willing to go $35 on it, but was to late. Report this Post to the Staff
