1956 (D) Lincoln Wheat Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-036

Description

Variety collecting transforms what might otherwise be an unremarkable common-date cent into a numismatic pursuit with genuine depth and intellectual challenge. The 1956-D Lincoln Wheat Cent, worth face value in most circulated grades, becomes a collectible of considerably greater interest when identified as a specific doubled die obverse variety — a coin struck from a die with documented hub doubling that distinguishes it from the other billion-plus cents produced at Denver that year. WDDO-036 is the thirty-sixth such variety cataloged, carrying the Wexler Team's attribution that confirms the working die in question exhibited doubling distinct from all thirty-five previously documented obverse varieties on the 1956-D date. The sequential catalog number serves as an unambiguous reference, recognized by grading services, dealers, and collectors alike as the standard identifier for this variety. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1956-D 1¢ WDDO-036.
