1970 Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-017

Description

WDDO-017 is a doubled die obverse on the 1970 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial cent. No cross-references to CONECA or Coppercoins exist, with documentation residing exclusively within the Wexler system. The conditions driving this concentration — multi-impression hubbing technology, enormous production volume, and hub alignment tolerances permitting slight shifts — combined with particular intensity during this period of Philadelphia Mint operations. For collectors who have worked through the preceding sixteen varieties, WDDO-017 completes the set while leaving open the possibility of additional undiscovered varieties in the vast surviving 1970-P population.
