2005 (P) Oregon State Quarter - CU-25c-2005P-01R(OR) Cud

Description

CU-25c-2005P-01R(OR), a reverse cud documented on the 2005 Philadelphia Oregon State Quarter, records a die rim fracture for this design featuring Crater Lake. Philadelphia struck 316,200,000 Oregon quarters in 2005, fewer than the West Virginia issue but still a substantial output that stressed hundreds of die pairs throughout the production run. The Crater Lake reverse, designed by Donna Weaver, depicts the caldera lake with Wizard Island and the surrounding rim in detailed relief — a landscape design whose varied depths and contours may have influenced die durability characteristics differently than more geometrically uniform designs. No additional cross-references exist beyond the primary designation. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins. Die rim fractures on State Quarters attracted significant collector attention during the program's 1999-2008 run, as the annual design changes created a deadline-driven collecting framework where each year's varieties needed to be identified and cataloged before attention shifted to the next year's designs, lending urgency to the documentation efforts.
