1992 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Cross-referenced as Coppercoins 1992P-1DR-003, WDDR-002 of the 1992 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial cent carries independent documentation in the Coppercoins attribution system — a database that assigns its own sequential numbering to Lincoln cent die varieties using a date-denomination-type-sequence format. The Coppercoins 1992P-1DR-003 designation indicates this was the third doubled die reverse (1DR) cataloged in their system for the 1992 Philadelphia cent, and the fact that their third entry corresponds to Wexler's second entry illustrates how different cataloging organizations may sequence the same varieties differently based on the order in which specimens were submitted for attribution. Cross-references between the Wexler and Coppercoins systems benefit collectors by providing alternative identification paths: a researcher with access to one catalog but not the other can locate the same variety through either reference number. The 1992-P date's multiple doubled die reverses — documented across both the Wexler and Coppercoins systems — reflect the level of collector interest directed at this particular year, driven in part by the broader fame of 1992's Close AM and Wide AM reverse hub varieties. Struck at Philadelphia on copper-plated zinc planchets composed of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper, weighing 2.5 grams and measuring 19mm.
