Willy Time Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hi Everyone, I came across this coin and want to know if it is an error at the mint, or someone tried to melt it. Any help or comment would be appreciated. If I am posting in the wrong section, let me know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodenJefferson Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Not quite sure just what the heck is going on with this quarter nor do I understand how your taking these images because they are, should I say distorted but then again I take crappy shots anyways, so by my standards these are better. Hopefully someone can chime in here and say these are not 'cuds' or a piece of a missing die or something else unusual happening at the Mint and not Post Mint Damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted December 19, 2016 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted December 19, 2016 That's a known mint error striking. The "blobs" are areas where the die broke away and formed what are popularly known as cuds. This die pair is cataloged as ST330 in Frank Leone's book Sam Thurman's Cud Collection. The coin is a 1983-P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Time Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thanks DWLange. I have finally made it back to sorting out my fathers collection, about 5,000 coins. I sarted a couple years ago, then got sidetracked. I love the history and The Identification process of figuring what and where a coin came from. ( I have a lot of foreign coins). Any ways thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptHenway Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Pretty nice double cud! Did your father collect error coins, or just happen to have this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
