shanegalang Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have a 1955 S Wheat cent that is virtually brand new. The first 5 in 1955 is filled in with copper. Is this common? Is it what I have read about, a "cud"? Thanks for any help! Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanegalang Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 cant really tell wthout a pic but sounds like a cud!! Thanks, I tried about 25 different ways to get a good pic of it to no avail. If it is fact a "cud" is that a good thing? Thamks, Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thamks, Shane Can anyone give me a quick tip on taking a picture of a penny? I have a Kodak Easyshare and I'm trying to use the micro lens setting with and without flash. Sorry if this is off topic but I want you guys to see this possible error! thanks shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 You can try either using a software program and increasing size or like I do. Put a magnifying glass in front of the camera. (Poor boy micro lens. ) You may have to take several shots to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Welcome to CP, Shane. Check out Coppercoins.com they have lots of great pics of different die varities. Check out that date and mint and you will probably see some related variety and value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldtjaeger Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 If the glob is up in the left corner of the 5 then I have one also. I wrote it off as a cud except mine is a bit more circulated. If you have a college nearby try using their librarys scanner, or a business like "Staples copy Center" Take your own disc or zip and they can scan it at all kinds of sizes.
