1970 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-030

Description

WDDO-030 is a doubled die obverse on the 1970-D Lincoln Memorial cent. No cross-references to other attribution services have been published, and the variety's documentation rests solely on Wexler's research. Reaching thirty confirmed doubled die obverses from a single year and mintmark requires not only prolific die production and frequent hubbing errors, but also a dedicated community of variety researchers willing to examine thousands of coins and submit their discoveries for professional attribution. The 1970-D cent has benefited from both factors: Denver's massive production created the raw material, and the organized variety-collecting community — through publications, online forums, and attribution services — provided the infrastructure for systematic documentation. Examination of 1970-D cents for WDDO-030 should follow the standard protocol of magnified inspection of the date numerals, the LIBERTY legend, and IN GOD WE TRUST, with die marker comparison against Wexler's published reference photographs providing the definitive attribution step.
