2001-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-003

Description

Cross-referenced under three attribution systems, the 2001-D WDDR-003 is a doubled die reverse on the Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial cent. CONECA assigns the designation 6-R-VIII, Coppercoins catalogs it as 2001D-1DR-004, and the Wexler system lists it as 2001-D WDDR-003. The CONECA Class VIII classification indicates tilted hub doubling, where an angled hub during die impression created visible displacement on the reverse design. The Lincoln Memorial reverse, designed by Frank Gasparro and used from 1959 through 2008, features the Memorial's columned facade, where even slight tilted hub displacement can produce detectable doubling on architectural elements and surrounding lettering. The 2001-D was struck at the Denver Mint in the copper-plated zinc composition standard for Lincoln cents since 1982. The triple cross-referencing across Wexler, CONECA, and Coppercoins provides collectors with multiple authoritative sources for confirming the attribution. Late-series Memorial cents remain affordable and accessible for variety collectors building comprehensive doubled die sets.
