CU-1c-1982-25(LD) Cud

Description

Independently verified across multiple attribution frameworks, CU-1c-1982-25(LD) on the Zinc Large Date subtype carries confirmed cross-references to LC-82 LD-18B Cu and JCc-82_44LD — designations that anchor this die break within two separate cataloging traditions beyond the Cuds on Coins census. The "LD-18B" component of the LC reference indicates this is a sub-state variant within the eighteenth Large Date copper entry, the "B" suffix denoting a later progression stage of the same die fracture documented under LD-18A, while the JCc designation encodes year, sequence, and subtype in a compact alphanumeric string that facilitates cross-catalog lookup. On the 2.5-gram copper-plated zinc planchet with the wider large date numerals, this interior cud fills the die void with the layered zinc-core material whose surface behavior under tonnage pressure can produce diagnostic textures at the fracture boundary. The existence of dual cross-references elevates this entry above the many census numbers that await independent verification, providing collectors with three separate identification pathways — CU-1c-1982-25(LD), LC-82 LD-18B Cu, and JCc-82_44LD — any of which can serve as the starting point for locating reference photographs and positional documentation.
