Description

The 1968-S Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-003 is a doubled die obverse (DDO) variety, where a misalignment during the die hubbing process created visible doubling on the obverse design elements.

Die markers: Obverse: Short vertical die gouge below bust and WNW of designer’s initials; short, strong, vertical die gouge near rim and to right of second T of TRUST.
