1995-S Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

Struck as a clad proof at the San Francisco Mint, the 1995-S Washington Quarter WDDO-001 documents hub doubling on a proof issue produced on specially polished planchets using polished dies. Proof striking enhances doubled die visibility by creating mirror-like fields that contrast sharply against secondary hub impressions. Cross-referenced as CONECA 1-O-II and Cherrypickers FS-25-1995S-101, this variety carries triple attribution recognition. The Class II distorted hub doubling produces spread toward center on affected design elements, compressing them inward. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 1995-S 25¢ Pr WDDO-001, the proof format means every specimen was intentionally struck for collector sale through annual proof sets. The Cherrypickers FS listing confirms guide-book recognition, making this accessible through the standard cherry-picking reference. The 1995-S clad proof quarter belongs to the post-1964 copper-nickel clad composition era, and the combination of proof strike quality with hub doubling creates particularly clean diagnostics for this mid-1990s San Francisco issue.
