1995 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-003

Description

The toward-center spread direction means the secondary impression was displaced slightly inward from the die perimeter, and "extremely close" indicates the separation between primary and secondary images is minimal, requiring careful magnification and angled lighting to confirm. No significant obverse or reverse die markers have been noted by the Wexler Team, leaving the TRU diagnostic as the sole attribution criterion. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1995 1c WDDO-003, this variety exists in the shadow of its famous sibling but represents genuine hub doubling on its own merits — a distinct die carrying its own Class II characteristics. The limited scope — only TRU rather than the full inscription — and extremely close spread place this firmly in the specialist category.
