1942 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-008

Description

The 1942 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-008 is a doubled die reverse (DDR) variety, where die hubbing misalignment produced visible doubling on the reverse design. This variety was discovered on the 1942 Lincoln Wheat Cent, part of the Lincoln Wheat Cents 1909-1958 series. Cross-referenced as CONECA: 7-R-V, Coppercoins: 1942P-1DR-008 Comments: All specimens that I have seen have been late die state coins with a "mushy" appearance to the doubling. I suspect that the doubling on UNUM would look quite remarkable on early or mid die state specimens. If you have one in an earlier die state, I would welcome the opportunity to photograph it for my files and this website.; Wexler Variety ID: 1942 1¢ WDDR-008.
