1940 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-012
Error
Description
Medium extra thickness on E PLURIBUS UNUM, wheat ears, stems, and AMERICA marks this twelfth DDR for the 1940 Lincoln Wheat Cent. Die markers: UVC-1451, DMR-016. Stage A: EDS (unconfirmed). Stage B: Reverse and Obverse MDS. Stage C: LDS (unconfirmed). Confirmed MDS at Stage B lets collectors identify mid-life specimens. The "medium" designation indicates hub displacement widening affected elements under moderate magnification without dramatic split images. The Wexler catalog documents forty DDRs for this date. Cataloged by VarietyVista, DDR-012 belongs to the final full year of peacetime bronze cent production before WWII.
