New Member Introduction

[Coinnovice]

Hi, I am Coinnovice. And I'll introduce myself with this 1996-P Roosevelt Dime that I call, "Frankenstein Dime" because of the well places cud on Roosevelt's neck.

In order to have a clearer picture of this coin, I had to liberate it from it's PCGS casing. The casing had become scratched. I'd like to have this coin attributed, and titled, "Frankenstein Dime"?

Everyone have a good day and the Father's out there, Happy Father's Day

Welcome to the forum. I hate to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but I must address a couple of thing concerning your coin.
First, I can see no photo. Have you uploaded it yet?
Second, what you call a 'cud' is most likely a die chip. Cuds incorporate a portion of the rim. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=cuds
Third, your made up name of 'Frankenstein Dime' will not be put on any case...especially a PCGS slab. That is your personal pet name for it, and no one in numismatics will ever get to a point where any name they deem is cool enough would or could be put on a slab. Just the cost of it is prohibitive.
There can be no attribution as they are reserved for varieties, not minor coin anomalies. In addition, there are literally thousands and thousands of coins out there with die chips. They are a common part of the minting process.
I know none of this is what you want to hear, but you must be realistic. If you like this dime so much, you should put it in your own bit of plastic, make a label for it, and add it to your collection. In my view, anything else is just wasting time and money.

Welcome aboard!

I am in full agreement with Bob.
It's simply not worth slabbing for a die chip.

Photos here have to be 2mb or smaller.
I suggest no wider than 800 pixel width.
I as well, do not see any photos.

"Reality Check" Well taken Bob. Cold hard facts are cool and I'll digest this with the greatest of ease regardless of my Barretts Esophagus.

I do however question the limited acceptance of "new discoveries" across AnyAll numismatic grading/attribution services. My observation are by limiting new discoveries restrains the diversified spectrum therein Numismatica?

I hear what you are trying to say. However, we need to put the word 'discovery' into proper perspective here. Let's take your coin as an example. Are you really the first person to ever see this die chip? To someone else, it may remind them of something else, so they may have their own name for it.
Remember that this thing is now on hundreds of thousands of coins, and it will change with continual striking. It will get bigger, maybe a crack will form with it, and maybe it will lead to a full cud somewhere down the road. Each time the anomaly changes in appearance, is it a new discovery, or is it a manifestation of the original discovery?
Third party grading services charge a lot of money, but for them to guarantee that your coin is a discovery piece, especially with an extremely common anomaly, is not good business practice. A discovery piece is something like a new doubled die, and even then they do not use that term loosely. Each listing service determines what they will or will not examine or attribute. In a case like yours, it would be extremely expensive, and would not get what you wanted out of them in the first place.
Keep searching though. You very well may be the 'Discoverer' of a new variety some time real soon that will gladly be listed as such by the third party grading companies.
