1928 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001
Error
Description
The 1928 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001 is a doubled die obverse (DDO) variety, where a misalignment during the die hubbing process created visible doubling on the obverse design elements. This variety was discovered on the 1928 Lincoln Wheat Cent, part of the Lincoln Wheat Cents 1909-1958 series. Cross-referenced as Coppercoins: 1928P-1DO-003 Doubling shows on the right sides of the digits of the date. This clockwise spread is the result of a Class V pivot near the rim at about 10 o’clock. Very little doubling can be found elsewhere on the coin. It is possible that earlier die states may show more doubling in the area of the front of the vest. This coin was a mid-die state coin. It is typical on Class V doubled die varieties for the spread of the doubling to decrease as you move from the rim towards the center of the die. This is clearly evident on the date of; Wexler Variety ID: 1928 1¢ WDDO-001.
