Description

Bearing the twenty-seventh Wexler doubled die reverse designation for the 2017 Frederick Douglass quarter, WDDR-027 continues a catalog sequence that ranks among the most extensive for any single ATB quarter issue. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this variety shares the Cedar Hill reverse design showing Douglass at his desk with the PEOPLE'S RIGHTS inscription on the podium, a composition whose dense detail has proven especially susceptible to recording hub-doubling effects. The Wexler Team documented WDDR-027 with die markers that uniquely identify the die pair, and collectors should consult the published diagnostic images when attempting attribution. Hub-to-die transfer during modern die production is highly precise, yet the sheer volume of dies manufactured for a circulating quarter denomination means that even small tolerances produce measurable varieties across a significant number of working dies. The Frederick Douglass issue's record of nearly thirty cataloged DDRs illustrates this statistical reality while providing variety collectors with a rich field for discovery and attribution work.
