2004 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Reverse DDR-026

Description

Carrying VarietyVista designations UVC-2898 / DMR-029, the 2004 DDR-026 Lincoln Memorial cent from Philadelphia presents medium spread to the west as an extra column #7 visible from the face to the knee of the Lincoln statue. This upper-to-mid range of doubling captures the portion of column #7 that frames Lincoln's profile and torso but fades before reaching the lower legs, distinguishing it from hand-to-foot or knee-to-foot varieties on the same column. Confirmed at Early Die State (Stage A), this die was cataloged before wear could diminish the secondary column image. The face-to-knee span indicates a moderate hub displacement — enough to register across approximately two-thirds of the visible column height. Among the multiple 2004 DDRs affecting column #7, the specific vertical extent of doubling serves as the primary differentiator, with DDR-026's face-to-knee range sitting between the shorter and longer varieties.
