1981 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-1981-09 Cud

Description

CU-1C-1981-09 is a cud on the 1981 Lincoln Memorial cent. The cud itself — a raised, detail-free area on the struck coin — corresponds precisely to the missing die rim segment, and because the fragment's separation is permanent, all coins struck from that die after the break event carry an essentially identical error. This repeatability is what allows attribution: a collector can compare a candidate coin's cud position against published images and positional data for CU-1C-1981-09 and confirm or reject the match with confidence. The 1981 Philadelphia cent was the last full production year for the copper alloy Lincoln cent, struck from 95% copper planchets weighing 3.1 grams, without a mint mark.
