1970-S Proof Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Cataloged under a proof-titled entry from a secondary import source, this listing for WDDR-002 on the 1970-S Lincoln Memorial cent represents the reverse component of the dual variety die pair where the obverse carries the WDDO-031 designation. Both doubled die obverse and doubled die reverse attributions on a single die pair appeals to specialists in both categories — acquiring one coin simultaneously satisfies entries in two separate catalog sequences. Doubled die reverse collecting within the Memorial cent series focuses on the architectural and inscription elements of Frank Gasparro's design, where hub misalignment can displace columns, bay openings, base structures, and surrounding inscriptions in diagnostic patterns. The proof Large Date context means polished planchets received multiple impressions from polished dies at elevated pressure — conditions rendering reverse doubling with maximum fidelity. For dual variety collectors, this proof-titled entry provides a reference point anchored specifically in the proof collecting framework.
