Description
The 1963-D Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-007 is a doubled die obverse (DDO) variety, where a misalignment during the die hubbing process created visible doubling on the obverse design elements.

A die gouge (dot) can be found left of the upper W in WE. A short die gouge is present from the front curl of Lincoln’s hair. A strong die scratch runs ESE from the lower nose. A die gouge southeast of the lower lip is present. Reverse: A die scratch runs about horizontally from under the Memorial above the O in ONE. A die gouge can be found on the lower part of the upright of E in ONE. Two die scratches run east to west through the upper E in ONE.
