Description
Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as LDB4-1955S-006A, this San Francisco Wheat Cent die break carries the designation "4DH+" — indicating a break of one-half or more but less than three-quarters the height of the letters, extending above the highest level of the letters. A companion die state, LDB4-1955S-006B, also at 4DH+, documents the progressive evolution of this break as the die continued in service. Cross-referenced as Cohen 55S-B906 and Hardy 55S-4DH+2, with dual documentation dates of July 13 and July 25, 2015. The LDB4 classification in the Cuds on Coins system identifies the specific inter-letter position of the break within LIBERTY, while the DH+ height measurement provides standardized documentation of the break's vertical extent relative to the surrounding letter design.
