1960 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-009
Error
Description
Few Washington Quarter doubled dies affect as many reverse elements as the 1960 DDR-009, which exhibits strong spread and extra thickness across QUARTER DOLLAR, the wreath, stem ends, lower wings of the heraldic eagle, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the eagle's breast tuft. The breadth of affected elements — spanning both inscriptions and sculptural details — indicates substantial hub displacement that left virtually no portion of the reverse unaffected. Strong spread intensity means the doubling should be identifiable without high magnification on the most prominent elements. This Philadelphia Mint regular strike carries John Flanagan's George Washington obverse paired with the heraldic eagle reverse, struck in 90% silver. The comprehensive spread across QUARTER DOLLAR, the wreath, wings, and multiple inscriptions simultaneously makes DDR-009 notable for the volume of diagnostic checkpoints available. Begin examination at QUARTER DOLLAR, then confirm across the wreath, lower wings, and eagle's tuft.
