CU-1c-1982-16(LD) Cud

Description

Sharing the CU-1c-1982-16(LD) designation and its cross-references with the bronze counterpart, this interior cud on the Zinc Large Date subtype at 2.5 grams documents the same die fracture on the post-transition copper-plated zinc planchet. The cross-references LC-82 LD-9 Cu and JCc-82_41LD apply to both members of this pair, confirming that independent attribution bodies documented the die break across both alloy compositions — an endorsement that elevates this paired entry above census numbers that lack external verification. The JCc cataloging system uses a compact alphanumeric format where "82_41LD" encodes the year, sequence position, and Large Date subtype in a single string, while the LC system separates these elements more explicitly. For collectors who encounter this variety listed under either alternative designation, the cross-reference linkage to the Cuds on Coins census number provides a bridge between cataloging traditions, ensuring that a single physical variety is not mistakenly treated as multiple distinct entries in a collection database. On the zinc planchet, the cud's raised metal fills the die void with the layered copper-over-zinc material whose surface behavior under coining pressure can produce diagnostic textures distinct from the homogeneous bronze fill of the paired entry.
