CU-1c-1982-03(SD) Cud

Description

Carrying the designation CU-1c-1982-03(SD), this cud on the Bronze Small Date subtype is one of the more thoroughly cross-referenced entries in the subtype-specific portion of the 1982 census. Independent attributions from other cataloging systems confirm this die break: it corresponds to LC-82 SD-4 Cu in one reference framework and JCc-82-SDC-13 in another, providing multiple identification pathways for collectors and researchers who may encounter this variety listed under different nomenclatures. The "(SD)" suffix explicitly marks the Small Date punch style — the compact numerals with tighter spacing — while the bronze composition is confirmed by the coin's 3.1-gram weight in the 95% copper alloy. As with CU-1c-1982-02, careful attention to the date style is essential when attributing this variety, since the small date and large date punches can appear superficially similar to inexperienced eyes. The cross-references to established cataloging systems like LC (Lincoln Cent) and JCc reinforce the variety's legitimacy and provide collectors with confidence that this die break has been independently verified across multiple attribution frameworks.
