1952-D Doubled Die Reverse DDR-002

Description

Cataloged as DDR-002 for the 1952-D Washington Quarter, this variety shows medium spread on QUARTER across John Flanagan's reverse — clearly visible displacement on the denomination inscription. Die markers UVC-0799 and DMR-010 confirm the working die across three documented states. Stage A represents Early Die State (unconfirmed). Stage B reaches Mid Die State on the reverse while the obverse is identified as ODV-005 (Obverse Die Variety 005), establishing a specific die marriage that links this reverse to a particular obverse working die. Stage C progresses to Late Die State (unconfirmed), where accumulated wear would soften the doubling. The mintmark has been classified as MMS-002 (Mintmark Style 002), indicating a specific D punch variant used at the Denver Mint. The 1952-D Washington Quarter was struck in 90% silver at 6.25 grams during the post-war era. Examine QUARTER under 5x to 7x magnification for the medium spread, and note the MMS-002 mintmark style for complete attribution.
