1999-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Strong extra thickness and Class II separation characterize WDDR-001 on the 1999 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial Cent, with doubling visible on ONE CENT, USA, the lower left and lower right sides of the Memorial, and slightly on E PLURIBUS UNUM and the designer's initials. The breadth of this doubling footprint, spanning from the denomination through the building to the motto and initials, documents a substantial hub displacement during die production. The extra thickness on ONE CENT and USA provides the most accessible pickup points, while the lighter doubling on EPU and the initials confirms the spread's extent across the full reverse. Cross-referenced as Coppercoins 1999D-1DR-003, this variety carries two independent cataloging attributions. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1999-D 1¢ WDDR-001, the strong designation and wide-ranging coverage make this the primary doubled die reverse for the 1999 Denver Mint cent, with the Coppercoins cross-reference providing a secondary confirmation path for collectors. Reverse: A short strong die gouge runs north from the upper left of the N in UNITED. Die scratches run WNW/ESE above the left end of the roof. A small die gouge can be found to the left of the center of the N in CENT.
