1939 1¢ WDDO-001 "Best Of" Variety Description: A very strong Class I CW spread shows on the ERTY of LIBERTY, the 19 in the date, the bowtie, the upper fold of the vest below the left side of the bowtie, Lincoln’s ear, some upper hair details, and there is a strong extra eyelid above the normal eye. Die Markers: Obverse Stage A: A die scratch runs ENE from the upper right N of IN. A short die scratch runs WSW from the center left of the W in WE. Numerous die scratches run somewhat parallel to the rim through the upper letters of IGWT. A die scratch runs from SSW to NNE between the 1 and 9 in the date. Obverse Stage B: A die crack runs from NNW to SSE on the upper forehead. Reverse Stage A: Several die scratches run from SW to NE below the E in EPU. A short die scratch runs ENE from the top of the E in ONE. Several short, parallel die scratches run from WSW to ENE through and below the A in STATES. Numerous die scratches run from north to south in the area around the T in CENT. Reverse Stage B: A die gouge can be found inside the upper right M in UNUM. A die chip can be found on the 4th wheat grain from the bottom on the right side of the lower right wheat ear. Submitted By: Brian Allen Cross References: CONECA: 1-O-I, Cherrypickers: FS-01-1939-101 (017), Breen: #2144, Crawford: CDDO-001, Coppercoins: 1939P-1DO-001 Values: F = $20, VF = $35, XF = $75, AU = $125, MS60 = $200, MS63 = $375, MS65 = $500 Comments: This variety was first reported by Ed Raser. I believe that the first hubbing for this variety was halted after only a partial impression in the working die. This was most likely done to realign some kind of misalignment between the working hub and the working die. During the realignment a strong rotation occurred between the partial image on the working die and the image on the working hub yielding the strong rotational doubling seen on all of the central elements of the die.
