1964 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-003

Description

Formerly listed as WDDR-226 before replacing the original WDDR-003 — delisted because it was a doubled working hub rather than a doubled die — this 1964 Proof Jefferson Nickel shows close Class II spread on E PLURIBUS UNUM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The original WDDR-003 was reclassified as WWHR-002, a Wexler Working Hub Repunching designation distinguishing hub-level anomalies from die-level doubling. This matters because a doubled hub transfers to every die made from it, while a doubled die is unique. The current listing is confirmed as genuine die doubling. Reverse markers include horizontal die scratches between the third and fourth columns. The 1964 was the last year proof coins were struck at Philadelphia before the program was suspended in 1965 and relocated to San Francisco in 1968. The WWHR-002 cross-reference is preserved, documenting both the doubled die and its connection to the working hub research that redefined the original listing.
