1964 (D) Jefferson Nickel - CU-5c-1964D-01R Rim Cud

Description

Documented by Cuds on Coins on September 1, 2013, this 1964-D Jefferson nickel rim cud represents a major die break where part of the die's rim gutter was lost, which appears on the coin as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. The cud occupies the reverse rim area, designated 01R in the Cuds on Coins cataloging system, where the R suffix indicates the reverse position. No cross-reference numbers from other cataloging systems have been assigned to this variety. Despite the 1964-D nickel's massive production volume, documented cuds remain scarce relative to the total population because quality control protocols typically flagged and removed severely damaged dies. The size and location of the cud serve as the primary attribution diagnostics, as each break pattern is unique to its specific die.
