Found this large cud in a roll that Jim Fines sent me, along with 19ea. 2017 P cents. No match for the cud yet. Also a well circulated 1944 wheat back was in there too. Thank you Jim for the rolls. And I want to thank Viv for sort of looking in on me as I have not been searching coins due to other work at home, you know those honey - due lists can it long...........................Dan

Congrats! That is a great cud Dan! See how things work for you... you've been busy with your honey do list... pick up a roll and find a huge cud! Way to go! It's like the 61D's, you get all kinds of nice surprises! That is awesome!
Yeah... I was glad to know from you that you've just been busy doing stuff! Glad to see you back, and what a great find to come back to!!!
Added: Jim is very awesome to send you the rolls to go through! What a great guy!!!Last edited by VAB2013; 10-05-2018, 11:18 AM.Comment

Really nice cud Dan.
Not only is there weakness on the reverse opposite the cud, there is a bunch of heavy die abrasions to the dies indicating the dies were old and ready to disintegrate.
Probably not many of those cuds created.Comment

I'm still catching up with tomorrow, would like to thank you Jon, Viv, and Pete for taking a look, still haven't found a match yet......................DanComment

I would have to agree with Viv. There are a few in the same general area but none of the stages could be yours. I blew up your pic and the pic for #10 and could not find anything that matched as far as die scratches or gouges. That was the only one that would have any chance of being an earlier die stage than yours and I don't see anything to tie the two together. Yours looks to be a later die stage too with all the abrasions and some ridge ring developing. Nice new CUD Dan!!Comment

Only question I can think of is: Jim, are you kicking yourself for letting this one get away?

That would be nice if it is a new one, I can't find a match either. It would appear that the mint tried to cover up some clashing on the reverse. Thanks for researching it Viv................DanLast edited by dinkyblue; 10-06-2018, 08:38 AM.Comment

Nice find... Looks like a new one to me also... It wouldn't be COCs 010 http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-cuds-1980-1989/ due to 010s die stage vs Dans... The obv on 010 is concave causing split plating near the rim around the entire obv... Dans coin appears to be in a fairly early die stage on the obv and paired with a much later die state rev... Good thing I sent unopened full rolls... I started out by pulling P minted coins out of rolls with out using my loupe or scope but ended up checking them any way So I decided to just look at the end coins and if a D mint coin or revs showed at each end then the roll went to Dan... Took me a while but I finally got some to him

Nice one. Cuds tend to sell very well on ebay. There seems to be a few people that collect and compete for them.All opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by willbrooks or his affiliates. Taking them may result in serious side effects. Results may vary. Offer not valid in New Jersey.Comment

I found 19ea. of the 2017 P's this 1987 P turned out to be truly a real surprise. Not sure if it is a new one but I can't find a match for it anywhere. I went on ebay to look for one that was similar with no luck. Haven't been looking at coins for awhile so when I received the rolls from you Jim, it prompted me to start looking again. I guess if you take a break from searching, it might change one's luck. Thanks for the rolls and the 1987 cud Jim..................DanComment

That's very interesting, I have a couple of cuds but this is the biggest one I have so far..........................DanComment
