1982 Large Date Defective Die 1 1

[PocketChangePillager]

Found my first earlier in the week from change I got at a gas station. Thoughts?? Or any opinions are welcome.

It's called a cud, and a nice one.  It's caused when a piece of the die that includes part of the rim, breaks off.  Nice find

It’s also my Birth-year so it’s pretty cool being my first Legit find. Thanks for the reply and information. I really appreciate it. Checked my RedBook and wasn’t aware of the different 1982s.

Boy that is a beaute for sure. However it has me confused now. 

I see a lot of CUD's on Sheild's because a FB friend is just ga-ga over them, and I was under the impression that by the time a CUD has developed to this size there are signs of it elsewhere on the Coin as well. Whether the Break is visible or a major depression somewhere else on the Coin. I guess that's not correct since I don't see anything abnormal on your Coin except for the CUD itself. Dang-it. Time for more study for me I suppose. And here I thought I already knew it all. Lmbo! Great Coin. I've never found one myself. Shucks!

May be the difference between it being from and on a Copper as opposed to a Zinc Cent? Yours is Copper, right?

Thank you for that link. I was able to submit my coin so they can add it.

It actually looks like the cud interferred with the lettering on Cent on the reverse. Nice cud!

Bobby is right. The first place I looked to see if it really was a cud was on the lower reverse, opposite the cud. And, there it was: a weak "CENT.".

 

 

OP, please don't give this coin some cutsie name, like "LOAF OF BREAD ON LINCOLN'S HEAD, " or "CLUB-HEAD CENT."

Oops! I thought that was just some of the black smudge that gets onto them. My bad. Shew! Glad I don't have to be all cornfused again.
