1956-D Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

Holding the primary WDDO-001 designation for the 1956 Denver Lincoln Wheat Cent, this doubled die obverse documents a hub misalignment during die manufacture that produced visible doubling on the obverse design elements. Cross-referenced as Coppercoins 1956D-1DO-027, indicating it is the twenty-seventh doubled obverse cataloged by the Coppercoins research project for this date and mint — a high sequence number that speaks to the thoroughness of Lincoln Cent variety research. Additionally cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1956-D 1-cent WDDO-001. The dual referencing between the Wexler and Coppercoins systems provides collectors with independent attribution pathways, each maintaining its own numbering sequence and classification criteria. The 1956-D was struck at Denver during the penultimate full year of the Wheat Cent reverse, which was replaced by the Lincoln Memorial design in 1959. As the lead doubled die obverse for the date, WDDO-001 represents the most significant obverse hub doubling identified on the 1956 Denver cent among the extensive population of documented varieties.
