1970 (S) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Large Date - CU-1c-1970S-01 (LD) Cud

Description

Cataloged in the newer cuds-on-coins format as CU-1c-1970S-01 (LD), this Large Date cud on the 1970-S Lincoln Memorial cent carries cross-references to two independent attribution systems: LC-70S-4 in the Lincoln cent die break catalog and JCc-70S-LD_59 in the James Cerino catalog, documented October 1, 2013. These cross-references anchor this variety in multiple reference frameworks, allowing collectors to verify attributions across catalogs and confirming that independent researchers have examined and documented the same die failure. The "(LD)" suffix explicitly identifies this as a Large Date variety. A cud forms when a section of die steel fractures and separates at the rim, leaving a void that fills with metal during striking to produce a raised, shapeless mass on the coin's surface. This variety may correspond to one of the cud entries cataloged under the older CU-1C-1970S numbering from the first import source, as both reference systems document the same physical population of die failures — though definitive cross-matching between the two numbering systems requires die marker comparison beyond the scope of catalog metadata alone.
