1988 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Transitional Reverse Design WTRD-011

Description

Wexler's published value estimates (undated) for WTRD-011 are approximately $50 in XF, $75 in AU, $150 in MS60, $200 in MS63, and $250 in MS65RD. These values reflect the variety's dual appeal — the collector must recognize both the transitional hub identity and confirm the specific die through marker comparison. Cherry-picking for WTRD varieties requires side-by-side comparison with a known standard-reverse 1988-D cent and careful examination under magnification, as the hub design variations affect the overall "feel" of the reverse more than any single dramatically different element. Attributed by the Wexler Team and struck at Denver on copper-plated zinc planchets at 2.5 grams and 19mm.
