1995 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - LDB6-1995-004 BIE Die Break

Description

Fourth in a cluster of die breaks documented on the 1995 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial Cent, LDB6-1995-004 belongs to one of the most intensively studied dates in modern cent variety research. The LDB6 prefix indicates a die break in LIBERTY at position 6 in the Cuds on Coins numbering, distinguishing it from rim cuds (CU), retained interior die breaks (RIDB), and lesser die crack categories. Die breaks form when accumulated striking stress causes a section of the die to fracture and separate, leaving a cavity that fills with metal on each subsequent strike. Cross-referenced to Hardy Index 95P-6SCHM (documented March 5, 2021), this attribution connects to the Hardy classification system that independently catalogs Lincoln Cent die breaks. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins, this die break reflects the intense production demands of mid-1990s cent manufacturing.
