CU-1c-1909-04 Cud

Description

Fourth cud on the inaugural year of Victor David Brenner's Lincoln Cent, which marked the first time a real historical figure appeared on a U.S. circulating coin. Philadelphia struck over 72.7 million Lincoln Cents in 1909 alongside the famous VDB variety and the outgoing Indian Head design. Four cuds suggest early production challenges as the Mint calibrated striking pressures for the new motifs. Cross-referenced as LC-09-1 and CU-1c-1909-04, cataloged by Cuds on Coins. Die breaks on first-year-of-issue coins hold particular appeal for collectors valuing the intersection of series history and die variety research.
