1957-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-003

Description

Hub doubling varieties are classified into distinct types based on the physical mechanism that caused the misalignment, and this 1957-D Lincoln Wheat Cent WDDR-003 falls within that classification framework. The system recognizes eight primary classes: Class I (Rotated Hub Doubling), Class II (Distorted Hub Doubling), Class III (Design Hub Doubling), Class IV (Offset Hub Doubling), Class V (Pivoted Hub Doubling), Class VI (Distended Hub Doubling), Class VII (Modified Hub Doubling), and Class VIII (Tilted Hub Doubling). Each class describes a specific type of movement or distortion between hub and die during the impression process, producing characteristic doubling patterns that trained examiners can identify.
