Comments: This variety also has an obverse doubled die listed as 1970-D 1¢ WDDO-017. Earlier die states show much stronger evidence of the secondary D to the south. We would welcome the opportunity to photograph an early die state specimen of this variety in uncirculated condition.
Comments: As a proof variety it is highly unlikely that more than 3,000 specimens of this variety exist since that is the life of a Lincoln cent proof die.

The images on the left from Billy G. Crawford show high points of the secondary totally separated Southwest. The image on the right shows an overlay of how the D mint mark is a perfect match.
