1995 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

While the 1995 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Memorial Cent is renowned for its famous DDO — one of the most widely recognized modern doubled die reverses, generating intense collector interest and media coverage — this WDDR-002 documents a separate phenomenon on the reverse of the same date. The doubled die reverse records a hub displacement event during reverse die preparation, distinct from the obverse hub doubling that made 1995 Lincoln Cents a household name among error coin enthusiasts. The Memorial reverse's twelve columns and architectural details provide sensitive indicators of hub misalignment, translating even modest displacement into detectable secondary impressions along the vertical column lines and horizontal steps. As the second doubled die reverse cataloged for 1995 Philadelphia cents, WDDR-002 demonstrates that variety research on this date extends well beyond the headline-grabbing DDO into systematic documentation of all hub displacement events. Cataloged as Wexler Variety ID 1995 1c WDDR-002 and attributed by the Wexler Team.
