2005-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-009

Description

Immediately following WDDR-008 in the Wexler catalog, this 2005 Denver Mint Oregon State Quarter WDDR-009 documents a separate hub displacement event on the Crater Lake reverse — a distinct die carrying its own unique doubling characteristics that distinguish it from its sequential catalog neighbor. Sequential Wexler numbers on the same date and mint indicate that multiple dies received misaligned hub impressions during the production run, each creating a different variety. The Crater Lake reverse, with Wizard Island centered in the volcanic caldera, renders its geological features in sufficient relief that even subtle differences in hub alignment between WDDR-008 and WDDR-009 produce distinguishable varieties under magnification. Designated as Wexler Variety ID 2005-D 25c OR WDDR-009, this variety contributes to the growing body of doubled die research on the fifty-state quarter program, where five new reverse designs introduced annually over a decade created an unprecedented opportunity for systematic variety documentation across both Philadelphia and Denver production lines.
