2017 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-014

Description

Fourteenth entry in the extensive 2017 Philadelphia Lincoln Shield Cent doubled die obverse catalog, attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID: 2017-P 1¢ WDDO-014. No additional cross-references have been recorded from other attribution services. With fourteen DDOs documented by this point in the Wexler sequence and at least one more to follow (WDDO-015), the 2017-P date stands as one of the most thoroughly documented DDO populations in modern cent coinage. Each numbered variety represents a physically distinct working die that received misaligned hub impressions, and the specific spread direction, affected design elements, and magnitude of displacement differ from die to die. Shield Cent DDOs gained collector attention partly because the shield reverse design — with its horizontal and vertical lines — provides excellent diagnostic surfaces for detecting even minor doubling. For accurate attribution of WDDO-014, collectors must compare spread characteristics against all neighboring numbers in the sequence and rely on any documented die markers to confirm the specific die identity.
