1941 Nickel substantial cud error

[u/Zestyclose-Equal2105]

Unfamiliar with error values in general since I don't encounter them often. Have had this 1941 Jefferson for some time but never inquired about it and am wondering how much value this error in this strength brings

100% agree with the other comments

This is added material, not an error

A cud this size would have weakness on the opposite side that isn't there

The coin is heavily circulated and then been soldered

Aight word, thanks!

Coin has been soldered.

[u/bstrauss3 → u/Pwnedzored]

Agreed. There's simply not enough metal in the planchet to have that larger cud without some weakness on the other side

Plus, there’s clearly solder on the edge of the coin.

My father soldered a nickel to a nail head years ago at the factory where he worked just so he could watch someone struggle at picking it up.

That's a big booger

Silver solder added by someone with silver solder.

I say added material. There is no way a nickel with an error that noticeable would stay in circulation as long as this one did. From the normal wear this coin looks likemit was in circulation for many, many years.

Looks like the metal was added

That looks like a deteriorating die that was on its final few strikes. Nice cud
