1975 Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1975-13 Rim Cud

Description

Titled explicitly as a "Rim Cud" in its original catalog listing, CU-1C-1975-13 is the thirteenth documented rim break on 1975 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Memorial cents. The "Rim Cud" designation emphasizes that the fracture occurred at the die's outermost edge rather than as an interior die break where a fragment might separate within the design field while remaining partially retained by surrounding steel. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins, this variety skips past position 12 in the catalog sequence — the gap may reflect a variety documented in a different batch, a reserved position, or a retracted attribution. A rim cud represents the loss of part of the die's rim gutter: on the coin it appears as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. The size and visual impact of the resulting error depend on the angular extent of the break around the die's circumference. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
