2001-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-013

Description

Thirteenth doubled die reverse attributed to the 2001 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial Cent, WDDR-013 documents another hub misalignment event during a year when Denver was producing cents at significant volume alongside Philadelphia. The Memorial reverse design, with its twelve columns, steps, entablature, and surrounding legends, provided variety researchers with a precisely structured architectural canvas where hub doubling could be localized to specific columns, window areas, or lettering positions. Thirteen DDRs for a single date reflects both the depth of die variety research devoted to the Memorial Cent and the statistical reality that among thousands of working dies, hub misalignment during the multi-pass hubbing process generates a measurable fraction of doubled dies. Denver's 2001 cent production contributed to the billions of Lincoln Cents struck across both mints during the early twenty-first century. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 2001-D 1¢ WDDR-013, this variety was attributed by the Wexler Team. The Memorial reverse's fifty-year production run (1959-2008) generated one of the deepest DDR catalogs of any American coin design, with varieties documented across every decade of the design's existence.
