Description

Hub doubling misalignment created visible reverse doubling on this 1998-P Lincoln Memorial Cent, cataloged as WDDR-009 by the Wexler Team. Cross-referenced as None known; Wexler Variety ID: 1998 1-cent WDDR-009. Notable diagnostic absence: the hub marker above N in UNUM is not visible, the hub markers at the top of memorial bays 7 and 8 are not visible, and the roof hub markers are not visible. The doubling on this die is somewhat similar to other documented varieties for this date. Frank Gasparro's Memorial reverse, featuring twelve columns and detailed architectural elements, makes hub doubling deviations precisely measurable against known reference points. Struck in copper-plated zinc at 2.5 grams and 19.05 mm at the Philadelphia Mint. The absence of multiple standard hub markers suggests a distinctly different hubbing sequence or die preparation from typical 1998 production.
