Description

Recorded as CU-1C-1967-03, this third documented cud variety for the 1967 Lincoln cent extends the growing catalog of rim die failures from the final no-mint-mark year. This accessibility makes cuds an inviting entry point for collectors exploring the world of die varieties, and the 1967 date offers an attractive combination of affordability (due to the enormous mintage) and historical significance (as the closing chapter of the Coinage Act of 1965 era). Each cataloged cud for 1967 documents a unique die failure, identifiable by the position and contour of the raised mass on the finished coin. Because 1967 coins carry no mint mark, the cud's location and the die markers on the remainder of the coin are the only features available for positive attribution. Cross-referenced as CU-1C-1967-03 and attributed by Cuds on Coins. Struck on a 3.11-gram, 19mm planchet of 95% copper and 5% zinc.
