1955 (D) Lincoln Wheat Cent - CU-1C-1955D-04R Rim Cud

Description

Fourth reverse cud for the 1955 Denver Lincoln Wheat Cent — a date most famous for Philadelphia's dramatic doubled die obverse, though Denver's production generated its own die varieties. Denver struck approximately 563 million cents in 1955, requiring many die pairs. Rim cuds form when the die edge fractures under concentrated forces where the raised rim meets the collar, and the loss of part of the die's rim gutter appears on the coin as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. Four reverse cuds for 1955-D means multiple dies experienced rim failure. Cross-referenced as CU-1C-1955D-04R, cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
