1944 Doubled Die Obverse DDO-025

Description

Displaying medium spread on the lower RTY of LIBERTY, this 1944 Philadelphia Mint Washington Quarter documents hub doubling on John Flanagan's portrait during the wartime production era. The RTY area sits along the lower-right curve of the inscription, and medium-strength doubling creates a visible thickening of the letter strokes under moderate magnification. Assigned UVC-0401 and DMR-026 within the VarietyVista framework, DDO-025 carries systematic attribution codes positioning it among the more extensively cataloged Washington Quarter doubled dies. Two die stages are confirmed: Stage A at Early Die State and Stage B at Mid Die State, tracing the die's progression. Washington Quarters in 1944 carry the original 90% silver composition that continued until 1964, and wartime-date quarters are collected both as part of the silver quarter series and as historical artifacts of World War II-era coinage. Philadelphia's 1944 production of 104.9 million pieces ensures this variety is accessible to collectors searching accumulated holdings. Cataloged by VarietyVista as DDO-025.
