Attribution History
- Discovered by John A. Wexler Cross References: CONECA: MD-1-O-IV+VII Comments: Since this doubling traces all the way back to the master die, all 1944 dated quarters from all three Mints will show this doubling. Consequently there should be no premium value added to these quarters if they just display the master die doubling.
