CU-1c-1982-47(SD) Cud

Description

Bearing the cross-reference LC-82-14 (SD) Cu, this Zinc Small Date specimen of CU-1c-1982-47(SD) at 2.5 grams is one of a limited number of Small Date cuds verified through an independent attribution system. The LC designation format here — LC-82-14 (SD) Cu — uses a slightly different notation than the LD-series entries seen in earlier census numbers, with the subtype indicator placed in parentheses after the sequence number rather than embedded as a prefix, reflecting the organic evolution of cataloging conventions within the LC framework over its years of active documentation. On the copper-plated zinc planchet with the compact small date numerals, this interior cud fills the die void with layered zinc-core material whose copper coating presents the familiar Lincoln cent surface appearance. The Small Date cuds carry particular collector interest because the small date punch was used on fewer dies overall than its large date counterpart, making confirmed die failures on this subtype proportionally less common in the census. The LC-82-14 designation provides a secondary lookup pathway for researchers seeking reference imagery and positional data beyond what the Cuds on Coins census itself offers.
