2011 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Sharing the WDDR-001 attribution with its companion entry for the 2011-P Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar, this listing represents a parallel catalog record for the same doubled die reverse variety — a situation that can arise when multiple database entries track the same die variety across different classification contexts or discovery reports. The doubling appears at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from Liberty's head and the right arm of the Statue of Liberty on the common Presidential Dollar reverse designed by Don Everhart. Die markers match the companion entry: a small die gouge at the rim below the S in TRUST on the obverse, and a die scratch inside the lower second A in AMERICA on the reverse, confirming this documents the same working die. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID 2011-P $1 AJ WDDR-001, the attribution by the Wexler Team provides the authoritative identification. The Presidential Dollar series, which ran from 2007 through 2016, transitioned from circulation strikes to collector-only production in 2012, making the 2011 issues among the last Presidential Dollars produced for general circulation. Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth president who assumed office after Abraham Lincoln's assassination, served during the tumultuous Reconstruction era. His Presidential Dollar was part of the 2011 four-coin annual release. The doubled die reverse on this dollar demonstrates that hub misalignment occurred during preparation of reverse dies for the Presidential Dollar program, and the localized nature of the doubling — concentrated at the ray-arm intersection — suggests the misalignment was subtle enough to produce visible displacement only where geometric design elements converge at sharp angles.
