1980 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1980-03 Rim Cud

Description

Specifically identified as a rim cud in the Cuds on Coins catalog, CU-1C-1980-03 documents the third confirmed die rim failure on 1980 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial cents. The explicit "Rim Cud" designation in the catalog title serves to distinguish this variety from interior retained die breaks, confirming that the fracture extends to and includes the coin's rim — the raised border that normally encircles the entire design. 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. No secondary cross-reference number has been established for this variety. The 1980 Philadelphia cent was struck from 95% copper planchets and carries no mint mark. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
