2000 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - CU-1C-2000-03 Cud

Description

Third cataloged cud on the 2000 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial Cent, CU-1C-2000-03 documents a die rim fracture on a millennial-year issue that saw massive production volumes as the U.S. Mint maintained cent output through the Y2K transition. Frank Gasparro's Lincoln Memorial reverse, in its forty-second year of production by 2000, had become the most familiar reverse design in American pocket change, and cuds on Memorial Cents create particularly recognizable varieties because the architectural precision of the Memorial colonnade provides a stark contrast against the featureless raised blob of the cud. No additional cross-references exist beyond the primary CU-1C-2000-03 designation.
