CU-100c-1999P-01 Rim Cud

Description

This 1999 Philadelphia Mint Susan B. Anthony Dollar carries a major cud error — a substantial die break at the rim where a piece of the die fractured and broke away entirely, leaving a raised, featureless blob of metal along the coin's edge. Cuds represent one of the most dramatic categories of mint error, as the missing section of die allows metal to flow into the void during striking, producing an unmistakable raised mass with no design detail. Cross-referenced under A$C file numbers 79P-2A, 79P-2B, and 79P-2C from the Thurman and Margolis Cud Book, this variety was documented by the Cuds on Coins attribution service. The 1999 Susan B. Anthony Dollar holds special significance as the final year of issue for this denomination, which was produced in 1979-81 and then briefly revived in 1999 to bridge the gap before the Sacagawea Dollar's 2000 debut. Major die breaks on this transitional issue are particularly collectible, as the limited 1999 production window means fewer dies were used and documented cud varieties carry heightened numismatic interest.
