2007 (P) Presidential Dollar - John Adams, Position A - CU-100c-2007P-01R(JA) Rim Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as CU-100c-2007P-01R(JA), this rim cud on the 2007 Philadelphia John Adams Presidential Dollar records the loss of part of the die's rim gutter, which appears on the coin as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. The Presidential Dollar series, launched in 2007, introduced manganese-brass clad composition and edge lettering. John Adams was the second release, following George Washington. Die breaks severe enough to produce cuds document the structural limits of dies under the high striking pressures required for fully detailed dollar coins. This variety was added to the Cuds on Coins registry on December 10, 2018, extending the documented timeline of cud discoveries well beyond the coin's original production year.
