CU-25c-1994P-01 Cud

Description

Cross-referenced with the designation WQC-94P-1b in the Washington Quarter Cud catalog, this 1994 Philadelphia Washington Quarter cud variety CU-25c-1994P-01 documents a die rim fracture where a fragment separated during production, creating the characteristic raised blob of unstruck metal on affected coins. The WQC-94P-1b cross-reference provides an independent identification pathway through a second cataloging system dedicated specifically to Washington Quarter cuds, strengthening confidence in the attribution. Cud formation occurs when metal fatigue at the die rim — the most stress-vulnerable section of the die — progresses to a point where a piece detaches under striking pressure. The 1994-P quarter was struck in clad copper-nickel composition on John Flanagan's classic design, during the final years of the traditional heraldic eagle reverse before the State Quarter program began in 1999. Attributed by Cuds on Coins under catalog number CU-25c-1994P-01, the dual cataloging with WQC-94P-1b exemplifies how cud varieties can be tracked across complementary reference systems that serve different segments of the variety collecting community.
