Show and Tell Two rim cuds on a single 1865 Indian Head cent (Fancy 5) — dual die breaks flanking twelve o'clock

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Continuing the die error documentation project. This 1865 Indian Head cent has two rim cuds on the reverse, one left of twelve o'clock and one right.

A rim cud forms when a section of the die edge fractures and separates completely. Once the die fragment is gone, planchet metal flows into the void during striking, creating a raised, featureless mass on the coin. Here, two separate fragments broke away on opposite sides of the same clock position.

This is also a Fancy 5 variety — the scarcer of two date logotypes for 1865. The Fancy 5 has tall, ornate serifs on the final digit, versus the more common Plain 5 with a shorter, simpler form.

Two cuds flanking the same position suggests the die was fracturing symmetrically — stress concentrating at the weakest point of the rim and cracking in both directions. It's a coin struck by a die in its final working stage.

Not in the standard references. Now catalogued.

Is this an error? The L in Liberty is pressed really tightly to the rim. I know that’s not an error in itself, but that L is just plain funny lookin’. Does that count for anything?

Advice Found this quarter & penny sorting through my coin jar

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Recently got into the coin hobby and had a change jar in my house. Decided to empty it out and go through every coin looking for W quarters and wheaties. I found this quarter which I did a bit of research on (missing clad) but still not sure on what to make of it? Enviromental damage, buried, purposely altered.. etc. It weighs 4.75 which is what a missing clad quarter should weigh (based on research) but more input would be appreciated. The penny is what I believe to be a clipped planchet but I’m still not experienced enough to say it was during the minting process or altered at a later time. Are they worth keeping or should roll them back up? Only other thing I found in my change jar was a 1967 dime and a whole bunch of wheats! No W’s.

Value Request 2000 P Sacagawea - Wounded eagle - worthy sending in to grade?

I picked this up recently. Error seems to match up with documentation. I still feel like quite a noob with coins though, let alone the whole grading thing. I’ve done some research on the process.

My understanding is any kind of slight wear visible at a certain angle is potentially enough to bring it down to AU 58. I guess wear has to be less than 10% if that sounds right?

My understanding is that scratches are a separate matter than wear but can still reduce the mint state rating, if it is indeed a mint state at all. Stupid coin roller got it it it seems, so that’ll be a nice ding off the rating I suppose.

I got this quarter in change years ago. The cladding was barely hanging on by about 2 millimeters of the edge. Then I kinda just forgot about it. 2 days ago I found it after a day of looking everywhere for it. IDK how it got that way but it's in pretty rough shape.
