CU-1C-1975D-12 Cud

Description

Jumping from position 09 to position 12 in the catalog, CU-1C-1975D-12 is the twelfth documented cud for the 1975 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial cent, with the intervening positions either cataloged elsewhere or representing gaps in the numbering sequence. Cataloged by Cuds on Coins, this variety carries no additional cross-reference numbers from other attribution services. Twelve documented rim breaks from a single date-mint combination represents a remarkably thorough census of terminal die failures, reflecting both the enormous scale of Denver's 1975 cent production and the dedication of the error coin collecting community in identifying, submitting, and cataloging each distinct rim fracture. A cud at position 12 in the sequence may have been discovered and reported well after the earlier-numbered entries, as cud catalog numbers are typically assigned in the order of documentation rather than in any chronological order of die use at the mint. Collectors pursuing a complete 1975-D cud type set face the challenge of locating specimens from each of the twelve documented positions, and the higher-numbered entries may prove more elusive simply because they were documented later and have had less time to be recognized in the marketplace.
