CU-1c-1982D-01(LD) Cud

Description

Carrying the "(LD)" suffix that explicitly identifies it as a Large Date variety, CU-1c-1982D-01(LD) is cataloged with cross-reference JCc-82D_27LD from a secondary attribution system, providing an additional identification pathway for collectors seeking to verify this specific cud variety on the 1982 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial cent. The JCc cross-reference links this entry to an independent cataloger's system, and the alignment between the two attribution frameworks strengthens confidence in the variety's authenticity and distinctiveness. The "(LD)" designation is essential in 1982 because the Denver Mint employed two different date punch styles — Large Date and Small Date — on both copper and zinc planchets, creating a matrix of subtypes that collectors must navigate when attributing varieties. This cud was documented on the Zinc Large Date subtype, struck from the copper-plated zinc composition introduced mid-1982 at 2.5 grams. The original cataloging date of February 14, 2022, places this as a relatively recent addition to the census, demonstrating that new cud varieties from the 1982-D production continue to surface four decades after the coins were struck.
