One of my numismatic goals for this year was to add just 3 new Cuds (total) to my Bust Dime and Bust Half-Dime sets. Up until
today that number was just 2 (and that number was only 1 until Thanksgiving), despite countless eBay and dealer searches.
I'm at a point in both my sets where finding new Cuds is getting pretty tough, although easy ones should still be available!
I have not yet received the Cud Coin, and due to prior circumstances about sharing links to auction wins, I will post a pic of
the coin once it arrives. For now, it is not very high grade, but the Cud is clearly visible, and it is listed as "rarely found" in
the references!
I'm excited to check off another numismatic goal for 2010, albeit unexpected and last minute! 
Edited to add:
Here are pics of the coin I discussed above. It arrived on the 24th, but I only just got around to taking some mediocre pics of the coin
My Eagle Eye's noticed the faint Reverse Cud through ED STATE despite heavy reverse wear on this 1833 LM-1 Die Marriage.
Not much of a coin (like I mentioned above), but it completes one of my few 2010 Numismatic goals

Bust Dime and Bust Half-Dimes only?
<< <i>I had no idea there was a collectors base just for cuds only.
Bust Dime and Bust Half-Dimes only? >>
I don't only collect Cuds, but I like the die stage progression on Bust coins, as do many collectors of the series'.
I have a couple Cuds on Bust Quarters as well, but none on DBH's or Draped Bust Dollars at the moment.
Bust Dimes and Half-Dimes have a large enough quantity of Cuds that it makes it an additional challenge when
collecting the two sereies.
Like I mentioned above, it's not a coin to go WOW at, but it fills a hole until an upgrade comes around.
But I do appreciate all the support and comments

It's been a much better than expected numismatic year
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I'm about to send out my 2011 JRCS Dues
...and I encourage anyone else interested in Bust Silver coinage to do the same
