Description
CU-1C-1838-04 records a rim fracture on an 1838 Modified Matron Head Coronet Head Cent. The Modified Matron Head design, with its refined portrait and modified hair curls, was approaching the end of its short tenure in 1838. Christian Gobrecht's work on the large cent series would culminate in the Braided Hair design of 1839, making the Modified Matron Head a relatively brief transitional type. A cud occurs when a portion of the die rim fractures completely away, and the resulting cavity fills with metal during each strike to build up a raised, featureless mass. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
