Original Research
Description
Class II doubling results from a distortion in the hub during hubbing, producing a secondary impression that does not follow a simple rotational arc. The CONECA cross-reference 1-R-II confirms the classification — identifying this as the first listed variety on the Reverse exhibiting Class II doubling. Die markers on the reverse provide attribution support. Philadelphia's 1956 business-strike nickel production of 35.2 million pieces ensures a substantial surviving population. The presence of both proof and business-strike doubled die reverses for 1956 gives variety collectors parallel targets across two production formats. Cataloged by the Wexler Team as 1956 5c WDDR-006.
Die Markers

- Reverse: Die scratch from T of MONTICELLO to V of FIVE; die scratch through UM of UNUM.
