1943 (S) Washington Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

As the first documented doubled die reverse for the 1943-S Washington Quarter, the WDDR-001 represents a wartime-era silver quarter variety from the San Francisco Mint. Carrying the Wexler Variety designation 1943-S 25 cent WDDR-001, this variety was struck during World War II when the nation's minting operations continued producing circulating coinage even as vast resources were directed toward the war effort. San Francisco Mint quarters of the early 1940s were produced in substantial quantities to meet commercial demand, yet doubled die varieties from this period remain scarce finds. The WDDR-001 designation as the first cataloged reverse doubled die for this date and mintmark combination means it holds reference significance for researchers building the comprehensive variety inventory of wartime Washington Quarter production.
