CU-100c-2007P-01R(GW) Cud

Description

Sharing the Cuds on Coins designation CU-100c-2007P-01R(GW) with its Position A counterpart, this cud error was struck from a 2007 Philadelphia Mint Presidential Dollar die honoring George Washington, bearing Position B edge lettering. The cud error type represents a major die break where a section of the die rim fractures and separates, leaving a cavity that produces a raised, featureless mass on struck coins at the corresponding rim location. Unlike minor die cracks or chips, a cud involves complete loss of a die fragment, resulting in a dramatic and immediately visible error that transforms the affected rim and adjacent design into an amorphous raised area. First documented on November 1, 2015, this variety demonstrates that the same die break condition affected coins in both Position A and Position B edge lettering configurations, as the fracture would have been present regardless of the planchet's rotational orientation during edge lettering application.
