Description
1903-S WDDR-001 is a doubled die reverse on the 1903-S Liberty Head double eagle, cataloged by the Wexler team. Class II tripling shows on USA (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA), strongest on UNITED and dropping off sharply across STATES OF AMERICA. TWENTY DOLLARS is tripled as well, weakening from left to right, and E PLURIBUS shows it slightly. Wexler notes no obverse markers. On the reverse, a short crack joins the bases of STATES's first T and A, and a long SW-to-NE scratch crosses DOLLARS through the R's lower part and the S's upper part. Bob Ryan submitted the variety. Wexler lists no cross-references.
