Description
A doubled die obverse for the 2015 Lincoln Shield Cent, this variety exhibits moderate extra thickness on LIBERTY with lighter involvement on the date and distinctive notches on the lower left portions of ERTY. The notching on letter bases provides a useful attribution diagnostic, creating visible interruptions that distinguish this from other 2015 doubled dies showing only uniform thickening. Die marker: a small die gouge dot below the hair above Lincoln's forehead. Wexler Variety ID: 2015 1¢ WDDO-025. Philadelphia Mint, zinc-core copper-plated composition. The 2015 date produced a catalog of doubled die obverses, reflecting enormous Philadelphia cent production. Moderate and light doubling across different elements suggests a minor hub shift during die preparation.
