My Great Southern cherry pick (will it grade?)
Many years ago when I was first starting to buy and sell coins, I remember selling a coin like this. I later discovered it was a mint error called a retained cud, and I have been trying to find another ever since. I finally found one being sold by great southern, and just got it today. It was not listed as such, which is… -

I am new to the board-usually just read. I have been collecting quite a few years and mostly ignore error coins but that one is really cool! Nice coin! -

I wish there was! There are several varieties of the 1908 too (die clash). I have a couple where you can see the progress of the clash and then a chip or something on the 9 in the date. -

Re: My Great Southern cherry pick (will it grade?)
Very nice! I am tempted to send it to ngc because of the cost to grade. Looks like it would be $45 to grade there, not including shipping, etc. Would pcgs be $60, or would it be the normal grading fee PLUS $60? The premium looks to be enough that I will probably grade... and I HOPE it straight grades obviously. I have a… -
Re: My Great Southern cherry pick (will it grade?)
These are a neat error on a gold coin... not super rare, but not super easy to find either, particularly a nice high grade example. When they are attributed correctly, they do go for a decent premium too. At least that has been my experience and I've sold several of these in the last few years. Here's one in MS63 that was…
