Hello everyone I'm Shleppodella1. I just joined and have been into numismatics for 7 years now. I do ancients, 18th, 19th century coins and banknotes, exonumia and errors.

Welcome aboard.
Sounds like you have your hands, and coffers full of coins and paper.
There are some good members here to answer your coin related questions.

I don't know if there are any ancient collectors in the mix. This is more of an errors and variety coin forum.
Happy hunting.

Oops got button happy there before I put a comment. Is this a "CUD"?

In my opinion, if you are talking about the lettering LIBERTY being filled in, those could be small die chips or cracks. It could also be debris in the lettering.

Thank you for that. What classification please would it be a die chip or cud? I'm new to errors and their terminology.
I just found out about the 1 picture rule I apologize for that.

It's one coin per post. You can add as many photos of that coin as you want. I am sure it would be OK if you had multiple coins from the same year/mintmark and same error or variety.

A cud is typically a die break/die crack which must touch the rim.

Die chips can happen anywhere.

Here is a good writeup on the CUD.

Your coin seems to be either a die crack, die chips or a debris filled working die.

I have multiple dates of these debris filled working dies/die chip how come it always happens in the lower part of the "B"?
Also are we allowed to discuss value of these errors please on here I don't want to get into trouble?

CONECA staff rules seem to frown on values. They say this since values between two people can vary wildly, especially between regions.

Yes you can have many of these die cracks. Within LIBERTY it can grow to become what is known as the BIE error. Those, depending on the dramatic effect, can be popular. One has to understand that this is the steel working die that has the issue. That means it will continue to make coins like this until the working die is replaced.

All I will say is that they are pretty low in value. If you had a very dramatic one and sold it, it may buy you breakfast at a drive through.
