1964 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Strong Class I counterclockwise spread on QUARTER DOLLAR, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, the eagle's wings, talons, and wreath defines WDDR-004 on the 1964 Washington Quarter, the final year of 90% silver quarter production before the Coinage Act of 1965 transitioned the denomination to copper-nickel clad. Cross-referenced as CONECA 1-R-I and Cherrypickers FS-25-1964-801 (024.6), this variety carries triple attribution recognition. The CCW rotational spread affects elements across the entire reverse, from the legend and motto through the heraldic eagle's anatomical features to the olive branch wreath. A die crack across the base of the bust into the lower queue provides a supplementary obverse marker. Cataloged by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID 1964 25¢ WDDR-004, Class I rotated hub doubling produces uniform rotational displacement varying by distance from the rotation center. The 1964 silver quarter holds special significance as the last year collectors could obtain 90% silver quarters from circulation, and strong multi-zone CCW spread across the full reverse makes this variety's diagnostics comprehensive and accessible.
