Description
Bearing the designation CU-1C-1980D-12 in the Cuds on Coins catalog, this variety represents the twelfth documented cud on 1980 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial cents — a count that reflects both the enormous scale of Denver's cent production and the thoroughness of the Cuds on Coins research team in surveying surviving examples. Cuds vary widely in size and visual impact depending on where along the rim the die fragment separated and how much material detached — some cuds are small notches barely extending into the design field, while others engulf entire letters or portions of Lincoln's bust. The angular position of CU-1C-1980D-12 distinguishes it from the eleven previously cataloged entries, and its specific identification requires careful comparison of the break's location, extent, and relationship to nearby design elements against the Cuds on Coins photographic record. The 1980-D cent was struck from the standard 95% copper alloy. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
