1959-D Doubled Die Obverse DDO-001
Error
Description
Bearing the DDO-001 designation, this 1959-D Lincoln Memorial cent features strong extra thickness on the date and IN GOD WE TRUST—the two most scrutinized obverse elements among variety hunters. As the premier doubled die obverse listing for the Denver mint's inaugural Memorial cent production, DDO-001 holds a natural place of prominence in any first-year variety set. Cross-referenced to UVC-1954 and DMR-033, this variety benefits from documentation across multiple attribution systems, reinforcing its legitimacy and making it easier for collectors to confirm through independent sources. The bold nature of the doubling on both the date numerals and the motto makes this variety accessible to collectors working with a basic loupe rather than requiring high-powered magnification.
