Anyone with a CUD book see this 1977 LMC CUD listed? I am shooting pictures of this coin for appaloosacoins.com as it has multiple errors and was curious if it was listed. More pics to follow later...

Jason,
The Cud Book has two that look amazingly similar, LC-77-6A and LC-77-6B. The 6B seems to have the cud continue southerly on the rim a short distance, while the 6A appears to stop at the end of the primary cud. Neither example shows a die clash.
That is a beautiful coin!

Thanks for checking Jean!
This example also has a rim CUD at K7...so it seems it is not listed?

It definitely does not match any in The Cud Book.
Beautiful coin and fantastic pictures!

Great images Jason and a work of art. Maybe you could assist me in taking sharper images. I shoot mostly outdoors with natural lighting which is harder to control using a Nikon Coolpix 550S. I put on the Macro setting. I would like to shoot pics like you.

Thanks everyone.
Lucien: I shoot through an eyepiece of a binocular scope. I have two cameras that almost perfectly fit over and see through the two different sets of eyepieces that my scope has (but are not interchangeable). Beyond that it is lighting, Photoshop and years of art making experience guiding me. I would suggest constant practise and experimentation until you find what works.
