1919 (S) Lincoln Wheat Cent - CU-1C-1919S-15R Rim Cud

Description

Fifteen reverse cuds make the 1919-S one of the most prolific date-mint combinations for rim failures in the entire Wheat Cent series. This fifteenth entry caps a remarkable sequence from San Francisco's post-WWI cent production of approximately 139 million pieces. Each cud formed when striking pressure fractured the reverse die rim and part of the die's rim gutter was lost, which shows on the coin as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. The concentration of fifteen cuds for a single S-mint date likely reflects production intensity and thorough collector documentation. Cross-referenced as CU-1C-1919S-15R, cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
