I saw Variety Vista has 14 different DDRs listed for the 1943 cent. Can you tell me which one this is?

There is a marker that Wexler has posted that shows that Die crack on the second 'U' in UNUM:

Quote:

1943 1¢ WDDR-001 "Best Of" Variety

Description: Extreme extra thickness shows on EPU, the dots, both wheat ears, and both wheat stems. Extra thickness also shows on the letters of ONE CENT and USA.
Very nice die example.
Die Markers: Obverse Stage A: A die scratch runs north from the Y in LIBERTY. A die crack runs from the rim at 7 o'clock through the vest and all the way to the neck. Many circular die scratches run through the face. Obverse Stage B: Same as Stage A. Reverse Stage A: A light, horizontal die scratch can be found inside the lower M in AMERICA. A small die gouge can be found above the 2nd S in STATES. Reverse Stage B: A die crack runs from the rim at 9:00 through the left wheat stalk to the C of CENT. A die crack runs from the 2nd U of UNUM down through the E of ONE to the N of CENT. A die crack arcs through the lower letters in OF AMERICA.

Thank you! I've had 6 rolls of steel cents in a box for over 10 years and am surprised to have found this variety in the first roll I opened. I noticed PCGS has only graded 11 of these, does anyone know how many of these are known to exist? While its not in the best condition, does anyone have idea what this coin would be worth?

If we had the last coin struck with the die, we could give an estimate by tell by die wear. But the Stage 'B' on Wexler's listing might give us a clue to how many up to that point.

Probably close to 500K. If there is an example of later die strikes, the numbers could be larger.

Great find! The Class 6 Doubled Dies are very fun to collect.
