CU-1c-1982-34(LD) Cud

Description

Cross-referenced as LC-82 LD-25 Cu in the independent Lincoln Cent attribution framework, CU-1c-1982-34(LD) on the Zinc Large Date at 2.5 grams is one of four cross-referenced census numbers in this range — though notably it carries only a single external designation rather than the dual LC/JCc references that accompany some other verified entries. The single cross-reference may reflect the incremental nature of the verification process: the LC catalogers documented this die break under their own system, but the corresponding JCc entry either has not yet been confirmed or uses a designation that has not been formally linked to this census number. For collectors, even a single cross-reference provides meaningful independent verification — it confirms that the die break was discovered, photographed, and cataloged by at least one attribution body beyond the Cuds on Coins census, establishing a baseline of multi-source documentation. The "LD-25" position in the LC framework indicates this was the twenty-fifth Large Date copper variety cataloged in their sequence, a count that reflects the LC system's own discovery timeline rather than any inherent ordering of the die breaks. On the zinc planchet, the interior cud fills with copper-plated zinc material under coining pressure. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
