We found some interesting coins and would like some opinions from fellow forum members on what they are and if any are worth getting slabbed. Some I know are errors and others are ? Lamination error? Cud 1 Cud 2 ? struck through a towel? Not sure what this is but something is hinky with the liberty Die clash error on the tails side. It looks like part of the clash is doubled Edited by Nepenthes 09/08/2011 11:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 12:01 am I think the one you label as a lamination error is just some kind of damage. " Cud #1" is either damage or possibly an internal die break, it's hard to tell from the picture, but it's not a Cud (a Cud always touches the rim). Cud #2 is indeed a nice Cud and a good find. The "hinky liberty" is just Die Deterioration, nothing special. The die clash is quite nice and a definite keeper. There is some of the clash showing on the obverse too, just not as wild. No idea on the struck-through one. Edited by CaptainFwiffo 09/09/2011 12:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 12:38 am Lamination error....silver paint Cud 1..... die break or PMD Cud 2..... nice Cud and worth keeping Struck through.... someone torched the obverse...high heat damage 1st Nickel... most likely Die Deterioration. 2nd Nickel... if we had the exact weight of the nickel in grams it might tell us it is a sub weight planchet error as the coin looks rather dished on the reverse. It might be that it was struck on a planchet that was too thin. If not it is just a strong die clash Edited by unholyroller 09/09/2011 09:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 12:31 pm Coin #4 has almost certainly been struck through something, a weight of the coin will confirm that it is not damage. It was struck through either a foreign object or a capped die, I think I see an outline of the Memorial and some columns which would make it a late stage brockage. The pic is not clear enough to determine for sure but look for signs of the Memorial or a ghost outline of Lincoln. Report this Post to the Staff
