2022 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Holding the primary -001 catalog position, this 2022 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Shield Cent doubled die reverse was the first documented DDR for the date, establishing the baseline entry in the variety record. The -001 designation carries particular significance in variety collecting because it represents either the most prominent doubling discovered or the first variety reported and confirmed for a given date and mint combination. Subsequent discoveries receive sequentially higher numbers, but the -001 retains its foundational status in the catalog. Cross-referenced as 2022 1¢ WDDR-001 and attributed by the Wexler Team. Hub misalignment during reverse die preparation produced the doubling preserved on this variety, where the Union shield design's vertical stripes, horizontal banner, and scroll details on the Lincoln Cent reverse provided multiple areas for the displacement to manifest. Collectors who search newly released coins from the Mint compete to identify the first doubled die for each new date, making the -001 discovery both a cataloging milestone and a point of pride within the variety collecting community.
