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 Proof Jefferson Nickel, part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 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.
