1954 (S) Lincoln Wheat Cent - CU-1C-1954S-03R Rim Cud

Description

Third reverse cud for the 1954 San Francisco Lincoln Wheat Cent, documenting rim failure during a lower-volume S-mint production year. San Francisco struck approximately 96.2 million cents in 1954, still requiring enough die pairs to generate three distinct reverse fractures. Each cud originates at the die's most stressed zone — the rim junction with the collar — where fractures propagate until a section separates. The 1954-S cent was struck in the Wheat Cent's closing decade, with Brenner's reverse in its forty-fifth year. Cross-referenced as CU-1C-1954S-03R, cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
