1941-D Doubled Working Hub Reverse WWHR-001

Description

Unlike doubled die varieties that affect a single working die, this Denver Mint Mercury Dime carries hub doubling — a distinction with profound implications. Cataloged as WWHR-001, this Doubled Working Hub Reverse means the master hub itself received a secondary impression, and every working die produced from that hub inherited the doubling. Wexler Variety ID: 1941-D 10¢ WWHR-001. The Class II spread appears on STATES OF AMERICA, the top of the fasces axe, the uppermost leaves and berries, the right star, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and DIME — an extensive spread covering much of the reverse. Because this is hub doubling, die markers will vary on individual working dies affected, as each die struck from the doubled hub carries its own unique surface characteristics while sharing the same underlying doubling pattern. Adolph A. Weinman's Winged Liberty Head design, commonly known as the Mercury Dime, ran from 1916 to 1945. Hub doubling varieties are valued because their potential population across multiple working dies makes systematic study rewarding. Attributed by the Wexler Team.
