1960 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

The 1960 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001 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 1960 Lincoln Memorial Cent - Proof Small Date, part of the Lincoln Memorial Cents 1959-2008 series.

Here we see the die scratches that run from the hair above the ear ENE into the forehead.; Wexler Variety ID: 1960 1¢ Pr WDDO-001.
