CU-25c-2006P-06R(ND) Cud

Description

Recorded by Cuds on Coins as CU-25c-2006P-06R(ND) with an initial documentation date of February 13, 2021, this reverse cud on the 2006-P North Dakota State Quarter is the sixth cataloged reverse cud for this specific date and mint. The 15-year gap between the coin's 2006 production and its 2021 cataloging demonstrates that die variety discovery is an ongoing process — collectors, dealers, and researchers continue to identify previously undocumented varieties long after coins leave the Mint. No additional cross-reference number exists beyond the Cuds on Coins designation. North Dakota's quarter reverse design features two American bison grazing before a sunset over the Badlands, with "North Dakota" and "1889" (the year of statehood) inscribed. The concentration of at least eight documented reverse cuds on the 2006-P North Dakota quarter is statistically unusual within the State Quarters program and may reflect specific characteristics of the dies used for this issue — perhaps a particular batch of die steel, die design geometry, or production parameters that made the reverse dies more prone to rim fractures. For variety collectors building a comprehensive North Dakota State Quarter cud set, the extended discovery timeline means that additional undocumented cuds may still surface in unsearched rolls, bags, and accumulations from the 2006 production year.
