CU-1c-1982-16(LD) Cud

Description

Among the most thoroughly documented entries in the subtype-specific catalog, CU-1c-1982-16(LD) on the Bronze Large Date subtype carries confirmed cross-references to two independent attribution systems: LC-82 LD-9 Cu in the Lincoln Cent reference framework and JCc-82_41LD in another established cataloging tradition. These alternative designations provide collectors and researchers with multiple identification pathways — a valuable redundancy that reinforces the variety's legitimacy through independent verification across different numismatic communities. The "LC" prefix denotes the Lincoln Cent series within a broader die variety catalog, with "LD-9 Cu" specifying the ninth Large Date copper entry, while the "JCc" code follows a different organizational logic that encodes year, subtype, and sequence in its alphanumeric structure. On the bronze planchet at 3.1 grams with the 95% copper alloy and wider large date numerals, this interior cud presents the warm copper surface tone characteristic of pre-transition production. The presence of confirmed cross-references distinguishes this entry from the many in the subtype-specific catalog that lack independent attribution — a gap that reflects the incremental nature of cross-catalog verification work rather than any doubt about the die break's authenticity.
