ok I finally got with a friend with an awesome camera (so thats how you pros do it!) Amazing the much better clarity of the coin pic from a nice camera. So please tell me if this is at best a somewhat common error? i think its a cud on the first 5 in 1955. Only thing the camera didnt seem to show as accurately was the near uncirculated shape of the coin. Its shiny as a 2007.

It doesn't look like a cud to me. Of course, it might just be my eyes.

Here's some info on cuds. Thread about cuds.

Wow Vfox...........your collection makes my mouth water!!! Awesome! Yes the coin (1955S) is very near uncirculated! I noticed you have a very simular error in your collection, but a filled 9.

Is it indeed an error and if so whats its called? Thanks, Shane

Thanks for the kind words, took me years and years to get them, and I will probably keep on hoarding for all my life, lol.

I agree that it is not a cud. It may be a die chip. The picture is just too small for me to tell for sure.

Thanks Becky.....is this better? I dont think I can get it much bigger! Smiles, Shane

Also I saw the same error on sale on EBAY and it was with what they referred to as a "plug" also has 4 other errors from same yr and mint mark..a "plug" 9 ect. Only 15$..but this one is in uncirc shape..........going to hold on to it shane

Die chips were very common in the 50's, they can be very cool....



This is called a BIE, they used to be very collectable but were so common, they kind of fell by the wayside. Still very fun to have a couple.

One would be nice..........a couple must be great!!!
