1958-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Representing the absolute final year of Victor David Brenner's wheat ear reverse design, this 1958-D WDDR-001 is the primary doubled die reverse for the last Denver Mint Wheat Cent ever produced. After 1958, Frank Gasparro's Lincoln Memorial reverse replaced the wheat ears beginning in 1959, ending a fifty-year run that had begun when Brenner's design debuted alongside his Lincoln portrait obverse in 1909. Every doubled die variety from 1958 carries the distinction of being among the last hub doubling events to occur on dies bearing the wheat ear motif, making them terminal entries in a design-specific catalog that spans half a century. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 1958-D 1¢ WDDR-001. Attributed by the Wexler Team. As WDDR-001, this variety holds the primary catalog position for the final Denver Mint Wheat Cent, marking both a chronological endpoint for the design and the foundational DDR entry for collectors researching the 1958-D issue.
