Description

WDDR-023 falls in the middle tier of the expansive 1998 Lincoln Memorial Cent doubled die reverse catalog — a body of work that ultimately documented well over ninety distinct varieties for this single Philadelphia Mint date. Attributed by the Wexler Team and catalogued as Wexler Variety ID 1998 1¢ WDDR-023, this die shares the identifying hub markers present across the 1998 reverse hub family: the hub marker above the N in UNUM is visible, the markers at the tops of Memorial bays 7 and 8 are confirmed, and the roof hub markers are likewise present on this die. These structural markers tie the die to its hub origin while the doubling characteristics specific to WDDR-023 differentiate it from the other varieties in the series. The Lincoln Memorial Cent was struck in copper-plated zinc at the Philadelphia Mint in 1998, produced in enormous quantities for circulation. Cross-reference: Wexler Variety ID: 1998 1¢ WDDR-023.
