CU-5C-1984P-06R Rim Cud

Description

This 1984-P Jefferson nickel exhibits a rim cud -- a raised, unstruck area along the coin's rim caused by a piece of the die breaking away entirely from the die face. 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 missing die fragment leaves a distinctive blank, shelf-like protrusion at the coin's edge that 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.
