2008 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Sharing the WDDR-002 attribution with other 2008-P Andrew Jackson Presidential dollar entries, this variety documents the same reverse doubling diagnostic: displacement visible at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from Liberty's head and her right arm on Don Everhart's Statue of Liberty reverse design common to all Presidential dollars. The Wexler Team recorded obverse die markers as die gouges above and to the right of the N in ANDREW on the Jackson portrait obverse, with no significant reverse die markers beyond the doubling. The Presidential dollar series paired annually rotating obverse portraits with the standardized Liberty reverse, and Andrew Jackson's 2008 issue served as part of the four-president-per-year release schedule that characterized the program. The doubling at the ray-arm intersection manifests as a shifted or doubled contour where the straight ray line meets the curved arm — a junction point in the design where even slight hub displacement creates measurable geometric deviation from the intended single-impression alignment. This entry may represent a separate die pair exhibiting the same attributed doubling pattern, or a duplicate catalog entry tracking a different specimen from the same die — the shared WDDR-002 designation and identical obverse die markers suggest the same die is documented. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 2008-P $1 AJ WDDR-002. The Andrew Jackson Presidential dollar carries the seventh president's portrait based on paintings and busts from the early nineteenth century, and the obverse die gouges near ANDREW provide the crucial first step in variety attribution before proceeding to examine the subtle reverse doubling that defines this WDDR-002 designation.
