Description
1977-S WMHR-001 is a reverse master hub doubling listed on the 1977-S proof Eisenhower dollar, cataloged by the Wexler team. ONE DOLLAR, the craters and the designer's initials show a spread toward the center. Wexler notes that each affected working die has its own obverse and reverse markers. Wexler credits various submitters, and CONECA lists it as SD-2-R-II-C+VI. Wexler explains that because the doubling came from a master hub, which was meant to last several years, working dies with the very same doubling exist for 1974, 1977 and 1978. Its look can differ with wear to the master hub, master die, working hub and working die, and with wear to the coin.
Cross References
- CONECA: SD-2-R-II-C+VI Comments: Because this was a master hub it was intended to be used over a period of several years. Working dies with the exact same doubling are known to exist for the years 1974, 1977, and 1978. Differences in the appearance of the doubling will result from master hub wear, master die wear, working hub wear, working die wear, as well as coin wear.; Wexler Variety ID: 1977-S $1 Pr WMHR-001
