2008 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Assigned the primary WDDR designation for the 2008 Andrew Jackson Presidential Dollar, this Position A Philadelphia Mint variety exhibits doubling at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the head and the right arm on Don Everhart II's Statue of Liberty reverse. Position A means the incused edge lettering reads upright when the obverse — Joel Iskowitz and Don Everhart's portrait of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president — faces up. The WDDR-001 designation marks this as the first cataloged doubled die reverse for the 2008 Jackson issue, attributed by the Wexler Team across multiple edge lettering variants. No significant die markers have been noted on either side, meaning attribution relies on the doubling at the ray-arm intersection. The same reverse working die produced WDDR-001 specimens in Position A, Position B, and Doubled Edge Lettering Overlap configurations — three catalog entries sharing identical reverse doubling but distinguished by edge characteristics. Struck in manganese brass clad composition at the Philadelphia Mint. Examine the intersection of the second ray clockwise from Liberty's head with the right arm, and verify the edge lettering reads upright from the obverse to confirm Position A.
