1960 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-010

Description

Showing a close counterclockwise spread on the second T in TRUST, WDDO-010 on the 1960 Lincoln Memorial Cent Large Date represents one of the more minor doubled die obverse varieties in the 1960 Philadelphia cent roster. The doubling is confined to a single letter, meaning collectors must isolate the second T and examine it under adequate magnification to detect the slight counterclockwise shift of the secondary hub impression. Despite the limited scope of the visible doubling, the die carries useful diagnostics: on the obverse, a short die scratch runs northeast from the upper lip to the underside of the nose, anchoring attribution to this specific working die. The reverse offers a die scratch running north from the top of the E in ONE, along with other die scratches scattered throughout. Cataloged by the Wexler Team as 1960 1¢ WDDO-010 with no other known cross-references, this variety illustrates how even very close doubled dies are systematically documented when the doubling is genuine and repeatable across multiple specimens from the same die.
