CU-10c-2006P-01 Cud

Description

First cataloged on October 1, 2013, by Cuds on Coins, CU-10c-2006P-01 is the sole documented cud on the 2006 Philadelphia Roosevelt dime — a rim die break that produced the characteristic raised, featureless mass where the fractured die segment could no longer transfer design elements to the planchet. No cross-references to other error catalogs exist. The 2006-P dime was part of an active production year at Philadelphia, with the facility simultaneously producing the new Jefferson nickel design, continuation of the State Quarters program (Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, and South Dakota that year), and the Sacagawea dollar alongside standard cent and dime output. This concurrent production of multiple denominations and designs placed heavy demands on the die shop, and die failures across all denominations contributed to the population of error and variety coins entering circulation. Roosevelt dimes from the mid-2000s occupy a transitional moment in variety collecting: traditional roll searching was being supplemented by organized group searches where variety clubs would distribute sealed rolls among members for systematic examination, increasing the probability that anomalies like this cud would be discovered and reported. The single cataloged cud for the 2006-P dime means this variety stands alone for its date-mint, and collectors seeking die break errors from the Roosevelt dime series can add this piece without concern about distinguishing it from other documented breaks on the same date.
