1907 Indian Head Cent - RCD-1c-1907-01R Retained Cud

Description

The sole documented retained cud for the 1907 Indian Head Cent, the RCD-1c-1907-01R records die failure in a year that marks a significant transition in American numismatics. The contrast is notable: while the gold denominations were receiving revolutionary new artistry, the humble cent continued with its forty-eight-year-old design, producing the same die failure varieties that had accumulated across nearly five decades of production. A retained cud captures the standard rim fracture pattern where a broken fragment stays attached, creating raised irregular metal on struck coins.
