1970 (S) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Small Date - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-024

Description

WDDO-024 is a doubled die obverse on the 1970-S Small Date Lincoln Memorial cent. The Small Date is identified by its uniform numeral height — all four digits align across their tops without the oversized 7 that defines the Large Date — and by the more rounded loop of the 9. While the hub doubling characteristics are identical to those on the Large Date entry (since the doubling originates from the same misaligned hubbing event during die manufacture), the Small Date context carries different collecting implications. WDDO-024 in the Small Date classification lacks published cross-references to other attribution systems, making Wexler's documentation the authoritative source for die markers and attribution criteria.
