CU-100c-2007P-01R Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins on November 7, 2015, the CU-100c-2007P-01R documents a cud error on the 2007 Philadelphia Mint Presidential Dollar honoring James Madison, struck with Position A edge lettering. Cuds occur when a piece of the die rim fractures and breaks away, leaving a void that transfers as a raised featureless blob along the coin's edge. The CU designation and alphanumeric code place this within the systematic Cuds on Coins inventory, where 100c indicates the dollar denomination, 2007P the date and mint, and 01R the first cataloged reverse cud for this issue. Presidential dollars feature edge-incused lettering with Position A denoting one of two possible orientations relative to the obverse. This Position A cud should be distinguished from the companion Position B cud cataloged under the same number, as edge lettering orientation confirms which die pair produced each specimen. The Madison dollar is part of the Presidential series launched in 2007, and die break varieties from this first-year issue document early production challenges with the new format.
