2002 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-019

Description

Carrying the Wexler Team attribution, this 2002 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Memorial Cent WDDR-019 exhibits doubling on the lower left side of the seventh Memorial column, positioned to the right of the statue's legs. The seventh column — counting from the left — is one of the most common locations for visible DDR effects on Memorial cents because its proximity to the statue figure provides adjacent reference points that make displacement easier to detect. Obverse die markers include two die gouges on the lower front of the vest, while the reverse carries a small die gouge dot below the F in the designer's initials and a die gouge to the left of the top of the E in E PLURIBUS UNUM. These multiple die markers across both sides provide reliable attribution points that confirm the specific die pair. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID 2002 1¢ WDDR-019, the high WDDR number indicates this date has been extensively studied, with at least nineteen distinct doubled die reverses cataloged from Philadelphia Mint production alone.
