2002 (P) Indiana State Quarter - CU-25c-2002P-02(IN) Rim Cud

Description

A rim cud for the 2002 Philadelphia Mint Indiana State Quarter, CU-25c-2002P-02(IN) preserves a die fracture on a coin bearing the Crossroads of America design — Indiana's reverse features a race car, the state outline, and 19 stars representing Indiana's admission as the nineteenth state. A rim cud represents the loss of part of the die's rim gutter: on the coin it appears as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. Indiana was one of five states honored in 2002, alongside Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, and Mississippi, continuing the program's march through states in order of ratification or admission. The Philadelphia Mint produced hundreds of millions of each State Quarter design annually, and the sheer volume of dies consumed during each design's production window created opportunities for rim fractures. Cuds on the 2002-P Indiana issue — CU-25c-2002P-01(IN) through CU-25c-2002P-05R(IN) — indicate that more than one die developed rim breaks during the Philadelphia production run. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
