2018 (P) Cumberland Island National Seashore Quarter - CU-25c-2018P-02(CI) Rim Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins, the CU-25c-2018P-02(CI) is a rim cud error found on the 2018 Philadelphia-minted Cumberland Island National Seashore Quarter from the America the Beautiful Quarters program (2010-2021). A rim cud represents the loss of part of the die's rim gutter: on the coin it appears as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. The quarter was struck in cupronickel-clad copper at 5.67 grams and 24.26 mm diameter. Cross-reference documentation indicates Stage B with additional notation for Cumberland Island National Historic Site dated 01/27/2023. The Cumberland Island reverse, designed by Donna Weaver, depicts a snowy egret at the edge of a salt marsh, celebrating the largest of Georgia's barrier islands. Cuds create an unmistakable physical anomaly at the rim that is immediately apparent without magnification. The stage designation indicates this die continued in service after the initial break, and specimens from different die stages may show varying sizes of the cud as the break potentially expanded during continued use of the deteriorating die.
