The 1946-S Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-002 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 1946 (S) Jefferson Nickel, part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series. Die markers: Obverse: Die scratch ESE from bottom of E of LIBERTY; short heavy die scratch parallel to rim above O of GOD.
