Description
Small Date companion to the Large Date WDDO-040, this entry represents a separate working die prepared from the 1970-S Small Date hub that also exhibits doubled hubbing. The parallel existence of both hub-type entries under WDDO-040 illustrates a recurring pattern throughout the 1970-S doubled die catalog: the same catalog number applied to dies from both hub families when the doubling characteristics share sufficient commonality to warrant grouped classification. Understanding this convention matters because a single WDDO number can encompass two genuinely different dies producing visually different coins — the Large Date and Small Date versions are not interchangeable specimens but distinct varieties united by analogous doubling patterns on different hub substrates. No confirmed cross-references are known.
