CU-25c-1993P-02 Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as CU-25c-1993P-02 with the cross-reference WQC-93P-2 (Washington Quarter Cuds), this cud error on the 1993-P Washington quarter documents the second known cud for this date and mint. The WQC cross-reference ties this variety into the broader Washington quarter cud registry that predates the State Quarters program, covering the long-running John Flanagan design that served from 1932 through 1998 before the state reverse designs began in 1999. Philadelphia struck approximately 639 million quarters in 1993, a substantial production volume that kept Washington quarters flowing through everyday commerce as one of the most heavily used denominations. The 1993-P represents a period when the Washington quarter design had been in continuous production for over 60 years, and the dies were produced using modern hubbing technology with standardized steel compositions. Cuds on the pre-State Quarter Washington design typically interrupt either the obverse (Washington's portrait, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, or the date) or the reverse (the heraldic eagle, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, QUARTER DOLLAR, or E PLURIBUS UNUM). Each position carries different collectibility — cuds affecting the portrait or eagle tend to attract more attention than those on peripheral lettering. The WQC numbering system provides a specialized tracking framework for collectors focused specifically on Washington quarter rim break varieties.
