CU-25c-2006P-05R(ND) Cud

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins as CU-25c-2006P-05R(ND) and recorded on September 10, 2018, this reverse cud on the 2006-P North Dakota State Quarter documents a die break at the rim affecting the reverse design. The "R" in the catalog number confirms the cud is located on the reverse — the state-specific side featuring North Dakota's design of two grazing American bison in front of a sunset over the Badlands, designed by Donna Weaver. The State Quarters program (1999-2008) generated intense collector interest in die varieties and errors, as the rotating reverse designs created fifty distinct canvases for die anomalies to appear. No additional cross-reference number has been assigned beyond the Cuds on Coins designation. Philadelphia struck approximately 305 million North Dakota quarters in 2006, a substantial production run that required numerous die pairs and created opportunities for die failures. The North Dakota design, released as the 39th state quarter, features relatively open field areas around the bison that can make rim cuds particularly visible against the uncluttered background. Cud collectors typically document the clock-position and approximate size of the break relative to the design elements it interrupts, as these characteristics determine the variety's visual impact and market desirability among error coin specialists.
