2002 (P) Indiana State Quarter - CU-25c-2002P-05R(IN) Rim Cud

Description

A reverse rim cud on the 2002 Philadelphia Mint Indiana State Quarter, CU-25c-2002P-05R(IN) extends the catalog of die rim failures on this State Quarters program issue. 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" confirms the fracture occurred on the reverse die bearing the Indiana design — the race car, state outline, 19 stars, and "Crossroads of America" motto. The 50 State Quarters program (1999-2008) released five new designs each year, and the rapid succession of new reverses meant each state's coins received concentrated attention during their release year. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins, this entry demonstrates ongoing rim failures across multiple die pairs.
