1980 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1980D-16 Cud

Description

CU-1C-1980D-16 is a cud on the 1980-D Lincoln Memorial cent. Each cud in the census represents a unique die that failed at a specific point along its rim, and the accumulated documentation of these failures provides researchers with a statistical window into die life expectancy and failure mode distribution for the era. CU-1C-1980D-16 is distinguished from earlier entries in the 1980-D cud census by its unique rim position, and collectors should verify attribution by comparing the break's angular location and physical extent against the Cuds on Coins reference photographs for this date. Like all 1980-D Lincoln Memorial cents, this variety was struck from 95% copper planchets at the Denver Mint. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
