1980 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1980-08 Cud

Description

Cataloged as CU-1C-1980-08 by Cuds on Coins, this variety documents the eighth confirmed terminal rim break on 1980 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial cents. The discovery pipeline for cuds relies heavily on circulation searching and roll hunting — activities that expose collectors to enormous volumes of coins and occasionally yield specimens that escaped quality control during original production. Once a potential cud is identified, the finder documents the break's position and submits images to Cuds on Coins for comparison against the existing census. If the break geometry does not match any previously cataloged variety, a new entry is created. CU-1C-1980-08 passed through this verification process and was confirmed as a distinct variety occupying its own unique angular position along the die rim. The 1980 Philadelphia cent was struck from 95% copper planchets and carries no mint mark. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
