1971 Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-007

Description

Completing the current Wexler doubled die obverse catalog for the 1971 Lincoln Memorial cent, WDDO-007 documents the seventh distinct Philadelphia Mint die identified as carrying hub doubling for this date. Cross-referenced to Crawford CDDO-004, this variety's external attribution link provides a second published reference for verification against the Crawford system's independent documentation. The Crawford CDDO-004 cross-reference positions this as the fourth variety recognized in Crawford's system, a lower number that reflects the different sequencing methodology each attribution organization applies. For collectors who have already acquired the major 1971 WDDO-001 and are building a complete set of 1971 doubled die obverses, WDDO-007 represents the final acquisition target in the Wexler sequence — the variety completing the set rather than anchoring it. Identification demands comparison against the published die marker photographs specific to WDDO-007, distinguishing it from WDDO-006 and other late-catalog entries through their unique die surface characteristics.
