1941 Lincoln Wheat Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-006
ErrorDescription
Victor David Brenner's Lincoln portrait was entering its third decade of continuous production, and the sheer volume of dies required to strike nearly 900 million cents inevitably produced multiple instances of misaligned hub impressions. Hub doubling occurs when a working die receives two or more impressions from the working hub with slight misalignment between strikes, transferring extra metal to specific design elements. Identifying WDDO-006 demands close examination of the obverse legends and date under magnification, comparing suspect specimens against published die diagnostics to distinguish this specific variety from the numerous other doubled dies documented for the date.
