CU-1C-1958D-07 Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as CU-1C-1958D-07 and cross-referenced as LC-58D-1C and JCc-58D_400, this cud error appears on the 1958-D Lincoln Wheat cent, the final year of production for Victor David Brenner's iconic wheat ears reverse design. Cud errors form when a piece of the die rim breaks away, leaving an unstruck raised blob of metal on the corresponding area of the coin where the broken die fragment no longer makes contact. The 1958-D Denver Mint issue marks the last regular-production wheat cent before the Memorial reverse debuted in 1959, giving cud errors from this date an added layer of collector appeal as end-of-series varieties. Multiple cross-reference catalog numbers reflect the coin's documentation across different error-coin classification systems, and collectors should note all three designations when researching this variety. Cuds on Lincoln wheat cents are actively pursued by error collectors because the series' long production run from 1909 through 1958 generated numerous die failures, and final-year examples carry the distinction of being among the last wheat cent errors produced.
