1928 1¢ WDDO-001 "Best Of" Variety Description: A very nice Class V CW spread shows on the date from a pivot near the rim at about 10:00. Die Markers: Obverse: The specimen examined was a mid-die state (MDS) coin and was virtually marker free. Reverse: The specimen examined was a mid-die state (MDS) coin and was virtually marker free. Submitted By: Robert Bruner Cross References: Coppercoins: 1928P-1DO-003
Doubling shows on the right sides of the digits of the date. This clockwise spread is the result of a Class V pivot near the rim at about 10 o’clock. Very little doubling can be found elsewhere on the coin. It is possible that earlier die states may show more doubling in the area of the front of the vest. This coin was a mid-die state coin.
It is typical on Class V doubled die varieties for the spread of the doubling to decrease as you move from the rim towards the center of the die. This is clearly evident on the date of 1928 1¢ WDDO-001.
The 28 of the date clearly shows the strongest spread to the doubling and should be the first place to look when searching for this variety. 1928 1¢ WDDO-002 Description: An extra eyelid shows below the main eyelid. Die Markers: Obverse: A small die gouge can be found between the upper 9 and 2 in the date. Reverse: None significant. Submitted By: Daniel Griffin Cross References: None known

1928 1¢ WDDO-004 Description: An extra eyelid shows south of the main eyelid. Die Markers: Obverse: A small die gouge (dot) can be found to the right of the upper Y in LIBERTY. Reverse: None significant. Submitted By: Daniel Griffin Cross References: None known
