CU-25c-1996P-02R Cud
Error
Description
A very small cud found on the reverse die of a 1996 Philadelphia Mint Washington Quarter. Cuds form when a piece of the die breaks away, creating a raised featureless area on the struck coin corresponding to the missing die fragment. The diminutive size of this particular cud places it among the smaller documented examples on Washington Quarters from this era, requiring careful examination under magnification to distinguish from rim damage or other post-strike artifacts. Collectors sorting through 1996-P quarters should examine the reverse rim and adjacent field areas for the characteristic raised, featureless mass that identifies cud varieties, keeping in mind that very small cuds can be overlooked during casual inspection.
