One of the fun things about wading through a *lot* of bags of wheat cents is trying to attribute die varieties while one or more of the big three sites is undergoing renovation. The Wexler site is uploading new photos and descriptions of 1941 DDOs and DDRs. At the moment, WDDO-006 through WDDO-018, WDDO-021 and WDDO-022, and WDDR-001 through WDDR-010 are in placeholder status. This could be one of those.
It clearly
is a
DDO, since the first "T" in TRUST is very obviously rehubbed. I can't match it with any
DDO posted on Variety Vista, Copper Coins, or the ones currently listed on the Wexler site. First "T" rehubbing is common on 1941 cents, but not quite as common as second "T" rehubbing.
Both "T" rehubbing also exists on 1941 cents, adding to the fun.
Aspects of the coin suggest WDDO-019, but that listing makes no mention of a rehubbed
first "T" in TRUST, and the second "T" in TRUST on this coin lacks the small but evident bar on the top of the crossbar of the second WDDO-019 T, although that could be explained by die state. There
is a notch on the upper right corner of the crossbar on this coin's second "T", but that could be contact damage. I have gone back and forth on that, and would welcome opinions on it.
One question on this on is the "R" in LIBERTY. I am not aware of any rehubbed "R" coins from 1941 (1936 seems to have cornered the market on those), but the sharp ridge on the left leg of the "R" made me pause. It likely is nothing more than contact damage, and there is plenty of that on LIBERTY, but I'd like opinions on that.
Whether there is any doubling on the eye is also a question on this coin. I don't think so, but I'd welcome thoughts on that, too.
So the bottom line is this is at least a first "T" rehubbed
DDO, and maybe a little more, but I can't attribute it right now. Help!
Thanks!Here are the full obverse and reverse mug shots:


Here is the First "T" in TRUST:

Here is the Second "T" in TRUST:

Here are the date, the "ERTY" of LIBERTY, and the eye:



EDIT: There is a clear notch on the lower left leg of the "N" of "IN" as well:
