1945-D Doubled Die Reverse DDR-006

Description

Cataloged as UVC-0700 and DMR-024 in the VarietyVista system, the 1945-D Washington Quarter DDR-006 exhibits light spread on QUARTER, the left stem, and the left branches. Struck in 90% silver, the standard composition for pre-1965 Washington Quarters, this variety's die stage progression documents three stages: Stage A is an unconfirmed early die state. Stage B is an unconfirmed mid-die-state. Stage C advances to late die state with a die crack down the eagle's right wing, a die crack across the bust, and a die crack across the hair. The concentration of light spread on the left side of the reverse — QUARTER, the left stem, and the left branches — suggests directional displacement favoring one side of the die. The three Stage C die cracks across multiple design elements document significant late-die-state deterioration.
