1974 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1974D-20 Cud

Description

CU-1C-1974D-20 is a cud on the 1974-D Lincoln Memorial cent. A cud forms when a segment of the die's rim fractures and detaches completely, creating a cavity that produces a raised, featureless blob of metal on every coin struck from the damaged die until it is detected and replaced. For collectors pursuing a complete type set of 1974-D cuds, CU-1C-1974D-20 is the capstone piece, though the open-ended nature of error discovery means that additional varieties could theoretically surface in the future if previously unreported specimens are submitted to attribution services. As with all cuds in this dense census, definitive identification requires careful comparison of the break's clock-position, arc-length, and the specific obverse or reverse design elements affected against the published reference images maintained by Cuds on Coins.
