2002 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-025

Description

Beginning the second consecutive pair in this batch — WDDR-025 and WDDR-026 — this 2002 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial Cent variety documents a hub displacement whose catalog position suggests it emerged from a productive discovery session yielding multiple confirmable varieties. The pattern of consecutive pairs across the 2002 census reveals how DDR research proceeds in bursts: a researcher acquires unsearched coins, examines them systematically, and submits discoveries that receive sequential catalog numbers upon confirmation. The Lincoln Memorial's columns remain the primary detection surface, but other elements contribute: the horizontal lines of the steps, the curved text of E PLURIBUS UNUM, the denomination ONE CENT, and the tiny seated Lincoln statue all provide supplementary reference points where doubling may manifest with varying intensity. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID 2002 1c WDDR-025, this entry opens a pair illustrating the burst-discovery pattern common in die variety research.
