2002 (P) Indiana State Quarter - CU-25c-2002P-03R(IN) Rim Cud

Description

A reverse rim cud on the 2002 Philadelphia Mint Indiana State Quarter, this variety belongs to the enormously popular 50 State Quarters program (1999-2008) that reshaped American coin collecting. The (IN) suffix identifies the Indiana design, featuring a race car, the state outline, 19 stars representing Indiana as the nineteenth state, and the motto "Crossroads of America." 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. The "R" designation confirms this cud appeared on the reverse die, meaning it appears in the rim surrounding the Indiana design. State Quarter reverses generated intense public interest — the U.S. Mint estimated over 100 million people collected the series — and that heightened attention drove die variety discovery rates far above pre-program levels. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins.
