CU-25c-2006P-08R(ND) Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as CU-25c-2006P-08R(ND) with cross-reference JCQ-2006P-ND-002, this reverse cud on the 2006-P North Dakota State Quarter carries a secondary attribution in the JCQ (Jim's Cud Quarters) system, providing collectors with two independent reference numbers for tracking and verification. The JCQ cross-reference suggests this particular cud received attention from multiple catalogers in the state quarter cud community. North Dakota's reverse design, featuring paired American bison grazing before a Badlands sunset landscape, was one of the more naturalistic and artistically praised compositions in the State Quarters program. Philadelphia's production of North Dakota quarters in 2006 reached approximately 305 million coins, requiring numerous reverse dies that occasionally developed rim fractures leading to cud formation. The "08R" catalog position indicates this is the eighth documented reverse cud for the 2006-P North Dakota issue — an unusually large number of cud varieties for a single date/mint/design combination, suggesting either aggressive die usage or a batch of die steel that was more susceptible to rim fractures. Cud collectors tracking the complete North Dakota quarter cud census benefit from both the Cuds on Coins and JCQ numbering systems, as each may document specimens or die states the other missed during initial cataloging.
