    Lisa, I have the feeling that the title of this thread will attract the attention of a lot of people doing internet searches. For the benefit of future readers, would you mind explaining the term "netted"?

    And then you look at related items further down the page, and see "double-struck" coins that are obviously damaged, probably intentionally, and you just have to shake your head.

    Just Bob got a reaction from GBrad in Slab Coin holders   
    NGC recommends using 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 (63.5mm x 63.5mm) flips for submissions. Most collectors seem to prefer/use the 2 x 2 flips for storage. The larger flips make it easier for them to remove your coins without damage. Use non-PVC products for both, obviously.

    And, just in case you haven't looked up the definition, a "cud" is the result of a die break at the rim of a coin. 
    Or, partially digested food that is regurgitated from the first stomach of a cow for further chewing.

    Welcome to the forum.
    My guess is that the coin was removed from a bezel or encasement of some kind, and will not receive a grade, but I hope I am wrong.
    Good luck with your submission.

    Just Bob got a reaction from Mohawk in 1976 approval for small size Eisenhower dollar   
    I looked at the Annual Mint Reports for 1976-1978, and could find no pictures or reference to a small Ike dollar. I did find pictures of the proposed-but-rejected Liberty Head small dollar, though. Too bad this design was replaced with the Susan B. Anthony portrait. It could have been a good-looking coin. Neither it nor the Eisenhower designs may have been any more popular than the adopted design, but either one would have looked much better, in my opinion.

    A coin removed from an encasement - like a "Lucky Penny" holder - will often have an edge like that. Sometime just on one side; sometimes both.
