1980 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1980-25 Cud

Description

Quarter-century mark in the census: CU-1C-1980-25 is the twenty-fifth confirmed cud variety for the 1980 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial cent, a number that few individual date-and-mint combinations achieve in the Cuds on Coins database. Each new entry at this census depth represents a die whose specific fracture pattern was carefully demonstrated to differ from twenty-four prior cataloged breaks — a non-trivial analytical exercise that requires detailed photographic documentation and precise positional measurement. CU-1C-1980-25 met these standards and was assigned its census number accordingly. The coin was struck from the standard 95% copper, 5% zinc alloy at the Philadelphia Mint and, like earlier Philadelphia cents, carries no mint mark. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
