1944-S Doubled Die Obverse DDO-002

Description

Hub doubling misalignment created visible obverse doubling on this 1944-S Washington Silver Quarter from the San Francisco Mint, documented by VarietyVista. Die markers remain unassigned with placeholder values UVC-000 / DMR-000, indicating this variety has been cataloged but not yet fully classified in the VarietyVista numbering system: Stage A at EDS (unconfirmed); Stage B at MDS (unconfirmed); Stage C at LDS (unconfirmed). The unassigned UVC/DMR codes suggest this variety may have been recently added to the catalog or awaits additional specimen documentation for full classification. Designed by John Flanagan, struck in 90% silver and 10% copper at 6.25 grams and 24.3 mm, the 1944-S was produced during wartime when silver quarter production continued at the San Francisco Mint. Doubled die obverse varieties result from misalignment during the die hubbing process that creates visible doubling on portrait or inscription elements.
