CU-1c-1936-02 Cud

Description

Cross-referenced as JCc-36-196 in Jake's Cud Census, this 1936 Lincoln Wheat Cent cud is the second documented rim die break for the date. Cataloged as CU-1c-1936-02, the variety exhibits the hallmark characteristics of a cud error — a raised featureless blob at the coin's edge where a fragment of the die rim broke away during production. The 1936 Philadelphia Mint cent emerged during economic recovery following the worst Depression years, when production volumes were climbing back toward pre-crash levels. Rising output placed renewed demands on die inventories, and multiple documented cuds for this date reflect the cumulative toll of extended die service. The JCc-36-196 cross-reference connects this variety to a broader cataloging framework that systematically documents cud positions across the Lincoln Cent series, enabling researchers to track patterns in die failure frequency across decades. As the second cud for 1936, this variety pairs with CU-1c-1936-06 and others, building a picture of die rim vulnerability at the Philadelphia Mint during the mid-1930s recovery era.
