1946-D Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-018

Description

Eighteen doubled die obverses from the 1946-D issue place this date among the more prolific sources of DDO varieties in the mid-1940s segment of the Lincoln Wheat Cent series. This tally reflects decades of systematic examination by the Wexler Team and contributing attributors who have searched through large quantities of this common date seeking die varieties worthy of formal cataloging. Not every minor hub displacement qualifies for inclusion — the attribution process involves verification standards that ensure each cataloged variety is genuinely distinct and repeatable across multiple specimens from the same die. WDDO-018 meets those standards and joins the published record for Denver's postwar bronze cents. For the broader collecting community, the extensive DDO catalog for the 1946-D cent demonstrates that variety collecting is not limited to scarce or expensive dates; even the most common issues can yield numismatic discoveries for the observant searcher.
