1956-D Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-034

Description

The 1956-D cent's place in Wheat Cent history is defined largely by its record mintage — a production figure so large that it ensured the date would remain one of the most frequently encountered Lincoln Cents in circulation for decades after its release. For variety collectors, that ubiquity is an asset rather than a detraction, because the sheer volume of surviving coins means that previously unattributed varieties continue to surface as collectors examine their holdings with fresh attention and better magnification tools. WDDO-034 is the thirty-fourth doubled die obverse cataloged for the 1956-D, part of a catalog that continues to grow as new submissions are evaluated against the existing body of documented varieties. The Wexler Team's attribution records include photographic documentation of each variety's diagnostic features, enabling side-by-side comparison when a new candidate is submitted. This rigorous process ensures that each catalog entry represents a genuinely distinct working die. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1956-D 1¢ WDDO-034.
