2001 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-014
ErrorDescription
Each new DDR documented for 2001-D represents a separate die manufacturing event in which the working hub shifted during one of the multiple passes required to fully sink the Memorial reverse design into the working die steel. Gasparro's Memorial Cent reverse celebrated the Lincoln Memorial structure dedicated in 1922, and its forty-two years of continuous use by 2001 meant that die sinkers had established well-refined hubbing procedures, though occasional misalignment remained an inherent characteristic of the process. The architectural precision of the reverse design makes even minor hub displacement detectable, with the twelve-column colonnade and stepped base serving as reliable reference geometry. Attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID: 2001-D 1¢ WDDR-014, confirmation requires direct comparison against published reference images to isolate the specific doubling pattern unique to this fourteenth variety.
