2007 (P) Wyoming State Quarter - CU-25c-2007P-01R(WY) Cud

Description

Wyoming's State Quarter features a bucking horse and rider — the iconic state symbol that also appears on Wyoming license plates — designed by Norman E. Nemeth, and CU-25c-2007P-01R(WY) documents a reverse cud cataloged on the 2007 Philadelphia issue. Cataloged on September 24, 2013 by Cuds on Coins with no additional cross-reference, this variety records a die fracture where a piece of the reverse die rim separated, creating the characteristic raised featureless blob on struck coins. The bucking horse-and-rider design, with its dynamic diagonal composition, places design elements at varying distances from the rim around the coin's circumference, meaning the visual impact of a cud varies significantly depending on its clock position: a cud near the horse's head or the rider's hat would obliterate recognizable design features, while one along the lower field would primarily affect the inscription lettering. State Quarter cuds from the program's final years (2007-2008) complete the geographic coverage of rim break documentation across all fifty state designs, providing die failure data spanning the full decade of production.
