Description
Displaying a medium spread that manifests as an extra bar over the 7 of the date, DDO-002 on the 1970 Lincoln Memorial cent is the second cataloged doubled die obverse for this Philadelphia Mint issue. Tracked under die markers UVC-2234 and DMR-003, this variety arose from misalignment between successive hub impressions during die preparation. The extra bar over the 7 is the primary diagnostic — collectors should examine the top of the digit under 10x magnification, looking for a secondary line tracing the curve above its normal position. This variety can be found in Mint Sets, the uncirculated coin sets sold by the U.S. Mint, offering cherry-pickers a productive hunting ground for specimens in original packaging.
