Description
WOMM-012 on the 1955-D Jefferson Nickel (Wexler Variety ID: 1955-D 5¢ WOMM-012) presents distinctive die markers including V-shaped die scratches left of the Monticello lips and chin, a die scratch from the nose bridge arch, and additional scratches across both fields. These die scratches are the primary attribution features, distinguishing WOMM-012 from other 1955-D WOMM listings. The D mintmark shows a secondary impression beneath the primary, characteristic of all WOMM varieties — produced before mintmarks were incorporated into the master hub. The 1955-D Jefferson Nickel is a standard copper-nickel Denver Mint issue. The V-shaped scratch cluster at the Monticello lips and chin is the fastest triage feature for field attribution.
