Here's a cud error I found in a roll of 1943-P cents. Although I realize that only banks prepared rolls back then, I believe it was an original roll since many of the coins had very similar die cracks in it. I sent a photo of this cud to Ken Potter and he put it in the July issue of Numismatic News. You can click on the photo to enlarge it.
hi
1. it is rare indeed to find a cud on a stell cent.
2. reverse cuds are very rare because the die usually stays intact on the reverse causing a retained die.
what a wonderful start to the year!

Thanks for the info RWBILLER. I agree, cud errors on steel cents are rare but a few are known for the Philly minted cents, however there are almost no steel cent cuds from the Denver mint. I believe Ken mentioned something like only 2 having ever been reported. Not sure why, maybe different die pressures used in the minting or ?
Why did I think that the dies broke quicker because of the hard texture of the steel composition? I had heard that cuds were more common on the steel cents because of the hard composition.
