CU-25c-1983P-09R Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as CU-25c-1983P-09R and cross-referenced as WQC-83P-2R, with a catalog date of March 30, 2023, this rim cud is attributed to a reverse die used in striking 1983 Philadelphia Mint Washington Quarters. The WQC designation — Washington Quarter Cud — provides the cross-reference within the denomination-specific registry maintained alongside the primary Cuds on Coins catalog. The -09R designation indicates this is the ninth cataloged cud variety for the 1983-P Washington Quarter, while the R suffix specifies a reverse die failure. As a rim cud, the break occurs at the outermost edge of the die face where the die cross-section is thinnest, producing a raised featureless mass adjoining the denticles on affected coins. The 1983 Washington Quarter was struck in clad composition and carries no mintmark for Philadelphia production. Washington Quarters from the early 1980s are common in circulation but actively collected for die variety documentation, and the nine cataloged cud varieties for the 1983-P date reflect the sustained research attention given to this denomination by cud specialists.
