Dads Stuff Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 It is not in the Red Book. Should I assume that it shares the same value (25 cents) as my other quarters? Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 It's incorrectly listed as the 1776-1976S C/N clad if you're referring to the '06 edition. It's 25c to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads Stuff Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Do you have a "thing" for BiCentennial quarters or are you also enamored of all BiCent coinage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I keep all of it I get my hands on, the quarters though are the easiest to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I keep all of it I get my hands on, the quarters though are the easiest to come by. Same here. Dad keeps all the ones he finds and lets me have them. Probably have around 100 or so, 50 or so Kennedy's, and lousy Ike. Last month I missed my chance for a Bicent mint set for $3, forgot to go back and get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month I missed my chance for a Bicent mint set for $3, forgot to go back and get it The finest quarters and dollars are in the '76 mint sets though only the type II dollars are found in this set. The best halfs and type I dollars are in the '75. Truly gem quarters are not so common as most believe. MS-65's aren't espec- ially tough but the higher grades are as tough as most other quarters from this era. There are very few gems in the many rolls and singles that were set aside and many of these have been returned to circulation over the years.

Burks Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 You are correct. Finding a Bicent set that isn't dull or nasty looking is very hard. The set I meant to buy had a great looking quarter, the half and dollar were "average". Be lucky to even hit a low 60-61. That's why those 3 holes in my type set are empty. Very picky about my modern coinage that enters that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeniffer007 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 i wish i could have 100,000 pc. of that bi-centennial quarter. but i am a late comer. now i did purchased 10,000 pc. of westward nickels instead. not for profit, i just like it. period. but for statehood quarters. i don't like them. and i don't have any except some circulated one. other denomination that i like were kennedy half and ike dollar. of course american eagle silver dollar is my top choice followed by modern commems dollar.

cladking Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 There's a Denver '76 quarter with a nice doubled die obverse. It is quite rare and sells for thousands of dollars. There's also a half with a reverse cud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads Stuff Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 What's a cud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladking Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 What's a cud? It's a fanciful name for a strike from a broken die. The edge of the die is simply missing so there's nothing to impart a force counteracting the other die. This will leave a small raised area which might remind you of a bite taken from it. The op- posite side will have a very weak or non-existent strike in this area. The cud on the half is in the 2 O'clock area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladking Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 are cuds desirable? They are considered errors rather than varieties but are among the most popular errors. Press operators will immediately shut down a press when a die breaks and the output will be destroyed and the die changed. Very few of these escape the mint. Prices start at $20 or so for major cuds but can go much higher when they are on popular coins or very late date coins. Even small cuds on Lincolns from the early '60's which are pretty common will bring a few dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likes_Ikes Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 a quick check of red book shows that cuds and other defective die errors are the 2nd least valuable among error type coins (laminations are last). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
