2017 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-013

Description

Thirteenth doubled die obverse cataloged for the 2017 Philadelphia Lincoln Shield Cent, reflecting the extraordinary number of hub doubling events documented across this single date. During the multi-squeeze hubbing process used at the Philadelphia Mint, slight rotational or translational misalignment between hub impressions produced the doubling characteristics visible on this die. The Wexler Team attributed this variety under Wexler Variety ID: 2017-P 1¢ WDDO-013, with no additional cross-references from CONECA or other attribution services currently known. The 2017-P cent saw production exceeding 3.9 billion pieces, and the sheer volume of dies consumed during that run increased the statistical likelihood of hub alignment errors. Collectors pursuing the complete set of 2017 DDOs face the challenge of distinguishing among more than a dozen subtly different doubled dies, making precise die marker identification essential for accurate attribution.
