1934-D Doubled Die Reverse DDR-001

Description

A combo variety on the 1934 Denver Mint Washington Quarter, DDR-001 is also listed as DDO-002 on the obverse, which corresponds to ODV-002 (Medium Motto). This 90% silver quarter thus carries attributions on both sides. Cataloged as UVC-0017 and DMR-012, the reverse shows medium extra thickness on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, QUARTER DOLLAR, stems, and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Die stage progression documents three stages: Stage A is an unconfirmed early die state. Stage B is an unconfirmed mid-die-state. Stage C reaches late die state with a die crack on the wing under TED of UNITED, a die crack from the wing to the rim through NIT of UNITED, a die crack across the bust, and a die crack across the upper hair on the obverse. The dual DDR/DDO attribution makes this variety especially appealing to collectors who value multi-feature die varieties in the early Washington Quarter series.
