1970 (S) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Large Date - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-050

Description

Large Date companion to the Small Date WDDO-050, this entry rounds out the fiftieth WDDO number with its corresponding Large Date hub die. The parallel cataloging demonstrates the consistent pattern maintained throughout the 1970-S doubled die catalog: where doubled hubbing of similar character appears on dies from both hub types, both are documented under the same WDDO number with hub-type differentiation. This convention ensures collectors can locate both versions through a single catalog lookup while understanding that the physical dies are entirely separate. No confirmed cross-references are known. For the collector assembling a representative set of 1970-S doubled dies, the catalog's size necessitates strategic choices: pursuing every numbered entry across both hub types would require a hundred or more specimens, while a curated selection focusing on distinct doubling classes, dramatic examples, or proof issues can capture the series' variety in a more manageable format.
