1982 P large date copper w/major die-break.

60x image Left side near rim...hmmm looks like the underside of a shark.

60x image Near top of die-break...hmmm the segmented edge of the die-break looks worm-like. Yuck..

60x image Right side near rim...hmmm looks like a fat seal laying there......hmmm gotta remember to put the top back on the can of acetone when I,m done with it.....

My luck has been pretty good since yesterday. Found a 1998 type2 reverse Lincoln.

Very nice.

It's always surprising how tough these are to find.

Fat seal & shark huh? hahaha I see it. I need you to to look at some of my toners to help me write descriptive descriptions for.
Yeah that's a fair sized cud. Does it have weakness on the oposite side?

Excellent cud. I found a similar one in change two years ago.

Cam40 · January 30, 2004 12:32AM

Dog- As a matter of fact it does show weakness on the oppsosite side of the cud.

Thats a good indicator of authenticity huh?

Dog97 · January 30, 2004 12:39AM

Yep. Somebody got in an agrument with me 1 time about a nickel that was sposed to be a cud. All it was was a pool of solder on it.

Cam40 · January 30, 2004 12:48AM

How,d you determine it soilder. Weighing? Scratched off easily?

My Alan Herbert book says the value of a major die-break is $5-$100 and up......Sounds good to me.
How,d everyone value mine, if you could guesstimate it from the pics.
Ballpark figure.......`whatever someones willing to pay huh`....I figured that much.

Super finds! I always look at Lincolns for Type 2, no luck yet.

Shamika · January 30, 2004 3:35AM

"As a matter of fact it does show weakness on the oppsosite side of the cud."

Yep, that's how I found mine. I noticed the reverse had a very poorly struck region. When I turned the coin over, there was the cud.

Cud? Heck come to my farm I will show you the whole cow..... Mint condition.

And after helping that calf be born in the night, I am almost in tears from laughing.

But still. That is a Beautiful coin..... I like it.

trooper: Send it back, something's clearly wrong with the coin!
