1980 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1980-19 Cud

Description

CU-1C-1980-19 is a cud on the 1980 Lincoln Memorial cent. In the context of U.S. Mint operations, dies are typically replaced when they begin to show excessive wear, flow lines, or other quality degradation — but catastrophic fracture short-circuits this process, ending a die's life abruptly and producing the dramatic cuds that error collectors prize. CU-1C-1980-19 is distinguished from its eighteen predecessors by the specific location and angular extent of its rim break. Struck from the standard 95% copper composition, without a mint mark. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
