1982 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Zinc Large Date - CU-1c-1982D-49(LD) Cud

Description

CU-1c-1982D-49(LD) is the forty-ninth cataloged cud variety for the 1982 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial cent on the Zinc Large Date subtype. Each entry represents a unique working die whose rim fractured under the relentless mechanical stress of high-speed coining operations, and the raised featureless mass left on struck coins serves as a permanent record of that metallurgical failure. The Large Date designation identifies the hub, and so the date style, behind this die, differentiating it from Small Date dies that constitute a separate census track. With no cross-references to other attribution systems, the Cuds on Coins designation serves as the sole formal identifier. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
