2006 Nebraska 3 Error coin Questions for State Quarter error Experts

I found this the other day and it really caught my attention.
I was wondering if anyone has seen this many screw-ups on one State quarter.
Looks like Lava coming down Chimney Rock on the right.
Just beneath the "K" in the word Rock is what looks like a misplaced "C"
And a small Cud at about 10:00 on the Sun.
Also I was wondering if anyone had a ball park figure on a value for something like this. I have no idea what to put in the Value space in the Database. The coin is a regular Quarter color in hand. I lit it with a compact fluorescent which gives it a goldish tint, but brings out the details better in the photos
Thank You for your help and opinions

Honestly I don't see anything unusual about this coin and likely has no additional value over 25 cents. There are a few die breaks here and there, maybe a small crack. I also do not see a misplaced C; that doesn't mean it isn't there. Is it raised or incuse; is it the same size and shape as a C within the design?

 

What you have is an interior die break upper right portion of the chimmney rock ,and a small die chip on the upper left side of the sun. ,

The initials are normal according to official mint pics.

 

looked like a normal circulated one. IMHO

 

That "C" is just part of designer intitals is it not?

I have quite a few of these quarters with the big cud on chimmney rock in mint condition that I saved from new rolls of coins.I'm about sure that my coins came from the same die as yours but I have not looked at them in a long time.Some that I own have this cud about twice the size as the cud on your coin. this die break just kept getting larger.

 

That cud is not supposed to be there- just checked pictures, might be worth something

 

There is no cud on this coin. A cud involves a die break at the rim of a coin. What this coin has is a series of die chips/break.

I agree 100%
Here the list of all the know State Quarter Die Variety's know to date.

Now why did you give us this link to John's website about doubled dies. this thread has nothing to do with variety coins. We were talking about cuds or what some of us call filled in die breaks. Why does some folks think that a filled in die chip or break can be called a cud on the edge of a coin and no where else on a coin ? In my opinion a cud is a cud and they are the same thing which is a raised lump of metal on a coin from where a chip has broken out of the coin die and got filled in with flowing metal from the coins planchet.

 

Because there more info there that Doubled Dies that will help any with any type of coin strike
Just read more & learn more
Do not take this in the wrong way !!!
we all need to learn daily as thing change so much

 

You are right we never get too old to learn a few new things if we will just stop and think what folks try to tell us. I have been a error coin collector for nearly 40 years and I still learn things. Hey you can say anything you want to me and I will not get mad. I always welcome new advice , this is how we learn.

 

I'm providing a awesome error coin link here for ziggy9 and jello so they may actually be able to learn something new about cuds on coins. click on this link http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/cud_defined.htm

 

That's mainly a term used to sell coins on E-bay (it sells more coins to the inexperienced). About.com also says, " Take the term cud, for example. Much to the chagrin of error and variety coin experts, the term cud has come to describe just about any abnormal spot on a coin that is there as the result of a minor chip, die break, or rim break. Therefore, in eBay parlance, you have cuds creating an "extra curl" on the Statue of Liberty, or a "filled S" in the word STATES. In reality, though, the "extra curl" and "filled S" are caused by minor die breaks, not cuds."
So I would stick to the error and variety coin experts on this one.

 

Why do some folks on here try to take the information we give them and try to twist and turn it around ? The link that I just gave out on here does not say to the chagrin of error and variety coin experts , It says to the chagrin some of them.This does not mean all of the experts .... just exactly like I told everyone before I found this link to this , a cud can and does occur anywhere on a coin. Sorry folks but we don't still live back in the days of the dinosaurs , this is the modern world like it or not. I went and copied the information about cuds on coins and have pasted it on here so folks that wants to know the truth can get the right information.here's the exact info from the website:


[Some experts in the error-variety hobby insist that for the blob to be called a cud, the damaged part of the die must include part of the edge of the die. Although this is the purist definition, in common parlance you'll see the term "cud" used to describe the blob created by any die chip or serious die crack, regardless of its placement on the die or coin ]

 

Here's a photo of one of my coins. Now who in their right mind would not know that this is a cud on this coin? This can easily be seen without the aid of a loupe. Now I've heard enough whining about a cud only being on the edges of coins. Our coin dies are much different and under greater pressure now days than back in the dinosaur days when some of us first started collecting error and variety coins.

 

Just because you find something on a website doesn't make it a fact. Do the research. About.com stated
" Take the term cud, for example. Much to the chagrin of error and variety coin experts, the term cud has come to describe just about any abnormal spot on a coin that is there as the result of a minor chip, die break, or rim break.

As you have asked
Why do some folks on here try to take the information we give them and try to twist and turn it around ?

I always thought a cud was on the rim only, the op's coin had die chips, not cuds.
