The 1943-D 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.

Die markers: Obverse: U-shaped die gouge in field above brow and south of S of TRUST; curling die gouge in field between top of Jefferson's head and rim at approximately 12 o’clock; short die scratch NW from top of tip of his nose.
