1963 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-022

Description

Bearing the Wexler Variety ID 1963-D 1c WDDO-022, this Doubled Die Obverse of the 1963-D Lincoln Memorial Cent is attributed by the Wexler Team and stands near the end of the known WDDO sequence for the date — a position that speaks both to the thoroughness of modern die-variety research and to the extraordinary volume of the 1963-D production run at 1,774,020,400 coins. No additional cross-references beyond the Wexler catalog are currently known for WDDO-022, which may provide an opportunity for future researchers to establish independent catalog numbers through CONECA or Coppercoins. Collectors evaluating candidates should use at least 7x magnification to survey the standard doubled die checkpoints on the obverse — date, motto, LIBERTY, and portrait details — and then compare die markers against published data to confirm the specific variety. The coin was struck at Denver on a 95% copper and 5% zinc planchet.
