CU-1c-1982-08(LD) Cud

Description

Designated CU-1c-1982-08(LD), this cud on the Zinc Large Date subtype is one of the most thoroughly documented entries in the subtype-specific portion of the census, carrying confirmed cross-references to two independent cataloging systems: LC-82LD-15Cu and JCc-82_40LD. These alternative attributions — from the Lincoln Cent (LC) and another established reference framework (JCc) — provide collectors and researchers with multiple identification pathways for this variety, reinforcing its legitimacy through independent verification across different cataloging traditions. The Zinc Large Date planchet at 2.5 grams represents the post-transition composition that became the Lincoln cent standard after mid-1982, and its pairing with the wider large date numerals places it among the more common 1982 configurations. This entry forms one half of a Bronze/Zinc pair under the same census number; the bronze counterpart also carries the same cross-references, confirming that both attributing bodies documented the die break across both compositions. The cross-reference codes embed subtype information directly — the "LD" in LC-82LD-15Cu confirms the Large Date identification, providing an additional check against misattribution.
