2024-D VDDR VDDR-002

Description

Cataloged by VarietyVista, the 2024-D VDDR-002 on the Lincoln Shield Cent is designated as a Very Doubled Die Reverse, with a strong westward spread on the upper right portion of the shield and a medium northward spread on the central banner stripes (specifically stripes 7 and 9). The Lincoln Shield Cent is struck at the Denver Mint in copper-plated zinc at 2.50 grams and 19.05 mm diameter. Die markers carry pending codes (UVC-???? and DMR-00?), indicating this is a recently documented variety that has not yet received permanent tracking numbers in the VarietyVista system. Three die states are documented: Stage A at Early Die State (unconfirmed), Stage B showing a small die chip on the upper left shield edge at Early to Mid Die State with the obverse at EDS, and Stage C at Late Die State (unconfirmed). The VDDR designation indicates particularly strong doubling, and the dual directional spread — west on the shield edge and north on the banner stripes — suggests a complex hub misalignment rather than a simple linear shift. As a 2024-dated variety, this is among the most recently produced doubled die cents in the catalog, demonstrating that modern Mint production methods have not eliminated hub doubling varieties.
