Title: Big Nose Cud.
Post by: Triggersmob on October 16, 2014, 10:30:08 PM
I'm not one to normally search for cuds on coins (I'll leave that for Nancy), but I didn't need to search for this one. It stood out like a dunny in the desert.
The coin is a 2014 20 pence from Great Britain.

That's a beauty Steve!

(Plain as the nose on ya face eh!).

I've seen a pre-cud impression of a similar nose proportion size and location on our 50c, but not the actual cud yet .... will have to dig it out.

Found the one I referred to above. Would love to see if one of these actually ends up leaving a cud.

What year should we look for? :angel:

I've got these, but none look as big as the pre-cud impression you posted.

Seems that nose cuds are quite common. :)

A lovely nose series Nevol!!!

The one I posted is a 2013. I have seen a few impressions on them but I think that was one of the largest ...... just waiting for the cud to hopefully form.
