1983 (P) Kennedy Half Dollar - CU-50c-1983P-06 Rim Cud

Description

Representing a distinct die break event on the 1983 Philadelphia Kennedy half dollar, CU-50c-1983P-06 is one of several rim cuds cataloged for this date and mint, each documenting a separate fracture location on a production die. 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. Each of the documented 1983-P cuds originated from a different die and exhibits breakage at a unique position along the rim, making the complete set of particular interest to specialists tracking die failure patterns. The CU-50c-1983P-06 designation places this variety sixth in the sequence of cataloged rim cuds for the issue, and its location along the rim distinguishes it from the -05, -07, and -08 breaks on other 1983-P dies that round out this notable cluster of die failures.
