1975 Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1975-06 Cud

Description

Advancing to the sixth position in the 1975 Philadelphia cud catalog, CU-1C-1975-06 records another rim break variety on Lincoln Memorial cents struck without a mint mark at the Philadelphia Mint. The jump from CU-1C-1975-04 to position 06 reflects the non-contiguous numbering that often characterizes cud catalogs when entries are documented and published across different batches or time periods. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins without additional cross-reference numbers, this variety exhibits the standard diagnostic features of a major rim break: a raised, featureless mass of metal along the affected section of the coin's edge where die steel separated and planchet metal filled the resulting cavity. Each entry in the census preserves the record of a distinct die reaching its structural endpoint under the demanding conditions of high-volume cent production, and the cumulative catalog serves as an industrial history of the Philadelphia Mint's 1975 die operations.
