2007-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Produced at the Denver Mint during the second-to-last full year of Lincoln Memorial reverse production, this 2007-D WDDR-004 documents a hub displacement event as the iconic design approached its conclusion. The Memorial reverse would run through 2008 before yielding to four bicentennial reverses honoring Lincoln's birth, formative years, professional life, and presidency in 2009. Die markers are noted as none significant on both obverse and reverse, placing the attribution burden entirely on the doubling characteristics — the direction, spread width, and specific design elements affected by the misaligned hub impression. The absence of die gouges, cracks, or dots means collectors must rely on precise measurement of the secondary image against the primary to confirm identification. As the fourth cataloged DDR for 2007 Denver cents, this variety contributes to the record of hub doubling during the Memorial's twilight years, when each remaining production year represented a diminishing window for documenting new varieties on a design that had served since 1959.
