1976 Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1976-08 Cud

Description

Rounding out this batch's coverage of the 1976 Philadelphia cud catalog, CU-1C-1976-08 is the eighth documented rim break for Lincoln Memorial cents struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the Bicentennial year. CU-1C-1976-08 was cataloged by Cuds on Coins without additional cross-reference numbers, and like all entries in this census, it represents a unique die that experienced terminal rim failure. Philadelphia struck its 1976 cents without a mint mark from the 95% copper alloy composition, continuing the denomination's standard specifications while other denominations received special Bicentennial reverse designs. Collectors building a comprehensive 1976 Philadelphia cud type set will find eight varieties to pursue — a manageable but rewarding assembly that documents the full range of rim attrition across this date's production run.
