1995 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-005

Description

The 1995 WDDR-005 Lincoln Memorial Cent carries the CONECA classification I-R-VIII, identifying it as the first die cataloged with a Class VIII reverse doubled die for this date. Designated under the Wexler system as 1995 1 cent WDDR-005, this variety comes from the same production year as the celebrated 1995 DDO-001 — one of the most famous and widely sought modern Lincoln Cent doubled dies. Class VIII doubling, also known as tilted hub doubling, results from the hub being tilted relative to the die during the hubbing process, producing a spread that varies in width across the design. While the 1995 obverse doubled die commands significant premiums and public attention, reverse doubled dies from the same year represent overlooked opportunities for variety collectors building comprehensive date sets.
