1945-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Listed under the 1945 Denver Mint Lincoln Wheat Cent, this entry shares its Wexler cross-reference (1945-D 10¢ WDDR-002) with the Mercury Dime variety of the same designation. The cross-reference data references a close spread towards the center on lower left leaves and branches, a description consistent with the Mercury Dime fasces reverse rather than the Wheat Cent reverse. A short vertical die gouge above the bonnet to the left of the R in LIBERTY is noted among the obverse die markers, while the reverse carries a short die gouge running from the lower right side of the olive branch to the underside of the fasces. The variety is also documented as a combo with WRPM-013 (D/D Tilted, Rotated) in the Wexler RPM files. The 1945-D Lincoln Wheat Cent, struck in the copper-coated steel composition returned to standard bronze alloy, is a common Denver Mint issue from the final year of World War II production. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1945-D 10¢ WDDR-002.
