Description
CU-1C-1801-05 is a cud on an 1801 Draped Bust Cent, a date that saw production of approximately 1.36 million pieces at the Philadelphia Mint. Each strike transmitted shock through the die body, and cracks initiated at the rim, propagating inward with each subsequent impression until a fragment separated entirely. The Draped Bust design required deep relief in both the obverse portrait and the reverse wreath, demanding higher striking pressure than shallower designs and accelerating die fatigue. Cross-referenced as CU-1C-1801-05 and cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
