1982 (D) Lincoln Cent - Large Date Bronze - CU-1C-1982D-29 Rim Cud

Description

Twenty-ninth rim cud documented on the 1982 Denver Lincoln Cent in the Large Date Bronze variety — a staggering count that reflects the unique complexities of the 1982 cent production year. This variety specifically occurs on the 1982-D Large Date Bronze version, narrowing the attribution to one of those seven sub-types. The "29" sequential number for a single date-mint-composition-date size combination demonstrates the frequency of rim failures during this transitional production year, when die adjustment for two different planchet compositions may have contributed to accelerated die wear. Cross-referenced under its primary Cuds on Coins designation CU-1C-1982D-29, this variety documents a die failure from the year of the cent's composition change.
