1982 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Bronze Small Date - CU-1C-1982-30 Rim Cud

Description

Classified as a rim cud on the Bronze Small Date subtype, CU-1C-1982-30 records a peripheral die fracture where the break remained confined to the coin's outermost edge rather than extending into the interior design field. The narrow raised strip that a rim cud produces along the coin's border is less visually dramatic than a full interior cud, which may cause some specimens to be overlooked by casual searchers. At 95% copper and 3.1 grams, this Bronze Small Date cent predates the mid-1982 transition to copper-plated zinc. The compact small date numerals distinguish this hub's date style from the wider large date style. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
