1941 Lincoln Wheat Cent - Doubled Die Obverse DDO-008

Description

The doubling presents as a medium spread appearing as one half extra bar on the right top edge of the horizontal bar of the last T in TRUST. Die stages are tracked under UVC-1480 and DMR-010. Stage A represents early die state, while Stage B is identified by a die crack on the shoulder above V.D.B., designer Victor David Brenner's initials, with the reverse at mid-die state. Stage C shows late die state. Like DDO-006, VarietyVista notes this die as Full T over Broken T Hub. The die crack above Brenner's initials in Stage B links the die's deterioration to the designer's signature.
