2007 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-002

Description

Identified on the 2007 Philadelphia Wyoming State Quarter, WDDO-002 presents a doubled die obverse attributed by the Wexler Team. The Wyoming quarter reverse features a bucking horse and rider, one of the program's most dynamic designs, while the obverse carries John Flanagan's Washington portrait where hub doubling manifests across the legends, date, and bust details. The Wexler catalog designates this as 2007-P 25c SF WY WDDO-002, with the SF notation indicating its connection to the Satin Finish designation used for coins in United States Mint uncirculated sets during this period. Hub misalignment during die manufacture produced visible doubling on the obverse design elements, and collectors should examine the lettering under magnification to identify the characteristic directional spread. The State Quarter program was approaching its conclusion by 2007, with only two years of state issues remaining, and variety hunters had refined their roll-searching techniques through nearly a decade of systematic examination. Each State Quarter doubled die obverse represents a unique die pair whose specific markers distinguish it from other varieties cataloged for the same date and mint.
