1982 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Bronze Small Date - CU-1C-1982-76 Cud

Description

Seventy-sixth in the overall 1982 Philadelphia cud census, CU-1C-1982-76 documents another die rim failure on the Bronze Small Date subtype. The Small Date hub used at Philadelphia in 1982 gave numerals that sit slightly closer together and stand marginally shorter than the Large Date version, differences that are subtle but consistent enough for reliable attribution under magnification. At census position seventy-six, this entry belongs to a mature phase of discovery where the most easily found cuds have long since been cataloged, and new entries tend to come from obscure sources — forgotten bank rolls, estate accumulations, and the persistent efforts of dedicated error coin searchers who continue to examine 1982 cents with undiminished enthusiasm.
