1982 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Zinc Large Date - CU-1c-1982-40(LD) Cud

Description

CU-1c-1982-40(LD) is a cud on the 1982 Zinc Large Date Lincoln Memorial cent. The verification burden grows with every addition: overlay comparisons against high-resolution reference photographs from the full existing catalog become increasingly time-intensive as the number of potential matches expands. On the copper-plated zinc planchet with the wider large date numerals, this interior cud fills the fractured die region with layered zinc-core material whose surface copper coating gives it the familiar Lincoln cent appearance despite the fundamentally different internal metallurgy compared to pre-transition bronze strikes. The absence of independent cross-references for this census number means the Cuds on Coins designation remains the sole published attribution pathway. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
