1944-S Doubled Die Obverse DDO-006
Error
Description
The 1944-S Doubled Die Obverse DDO-006 is a doubled die obverse (DDO) variety, where a misalignment during the die hubbing process created visible doubling on the obverse design elements. This variety was discovered on the 1944 (S) Lincoln Wheat Cent, part of the Lincoln Wheat Cents 1909-1958 series. Die markers: UVC-1650 DMR-018 Stage A: EDS (unconfirmed) Stage B: Die scratch Southwest from G of God – MDS Reverse is MDS Stage C: LDS (unconfirmed). Mintmark is MMS-005 (straight serifs). I need to see a specimen of this doubled die for new color photos and die stage information.
