2002 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Reverse DDR-007

Description

Identified by VarietyVista under UVC-3240 / DMR-008, the 2002 DDR-007 Lincoln Memorial cent from Philadelphia shows medium spread to the east, manifesting as an extra column #6 from the knee to the foot of the Lincoln statue. Column #6, immediately left of the seated figure, is a common target for eastward hub doubling on Memorial reverses, and the knee-to-foot extent mirrors the pattern seen on the 2001 DDR-018 — though each variety originates from a distinct working die with its own unique surface characteristics. Confirmed at Early Die State (Stage A), this die was examined before significant wear or deterioration could obscure the doubling. Partial-column doubling limited to the lower portion of the statue requires closer inspection under magnification than varieties where the ghost column spans the full height, making DDR-007 a variety best confirmed with a 10x loupe or higher.
