1984 (P) Jefferson Nickel - CU-5C-1984P-06R Rim Cud

Description

This 1984-P Jefferson nickel exhibits a rim cud -- the loss of part of the die's rim gutter, which appears on the coin as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. Cataloged as CU-5C-1984P-06R by Cuds on Coins, the variety is also cross-referenced as JNC-84P-1b. Notably, this same die also produced an associated die clash documented as ADC-5c-1984P-02, indicating the die experienced multiple significant stress events during its production service life. Rim cuds represent one of the most visually dramatic mint error categories, as the raised interruption in the rim at the coin's edge is immediately apparent even without magnification. The combination of a cud and a die clash from the same die pair offers collectors a valuable opportunity to study the progressive failure of a single working die across multiple error types.
