CU-25c-2006P-11R & 12R(CO) Cud

Description

Bearing a dual catalog designation indicating two cud positions on the same coin, CU-25c-2006P-11R & 12R(CO) documents a 2006 Philadelphia Mint Colorado State Quarter with die rim failures at two separate locations on the reverse. Double cuds — where two independent rim sections have broken away from the same die — are considerably scarcer than single cuds, since they require two separate fracture events on one die. Each cud produces its own raised featureless mass at the rim, and on a coin with two cuds, collectors can observe both blank areas at different positions along the circumference. The Colorado State Quarter, fourteenth in the 50 State Quarters program, depicts a sweeping view of the Rocky Mountains with the inscription "Colorful Colorado." Cataloged by Cuds on Coins, the CO designation in the catalog code identifies the specific state design. The State Quarters program (1999-2008) introduced five new reverse designs annually, and the constant die changeovers and high production volumes generated a rich catalog of die errors, making State Quarter cuds a popular collecting specialty within the broader field of die error numismatics.
