2004 (P) Wisconsin State Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-024

Description

The cow, cheese wheel and ear of corn on the reverse of the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter serve as the canvas for WDDR-024, a doubled die reverse attributed to this date and mint by the Wexler Team. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID 2004-P 25¢ WI WDDR-024, this variety joins a catalog for the Wisconsin issue — a date with the "Extra Leaf" varieties (high and low) that made national headlines when discovered in late 2004. While the Extra Leaf varieties involved possible intentional die damage, WDDR-024 represents a conventional hub doubling event where misalignment during die manufacture created doubled impressions on the reverse design elements. The Wisconsin reverse depicted a cow, a wheel of cheese, and an ear of corn — agricultural symbols that provided detailed design surfaces where hub displacement could manifest with particular clarity. Philadelphia struck approximately 226 million Wisconsin quarters in 2004, part of the State Quarters program's sixth year of production that also included Michigan, Florida, Texas, and Iowa reverses. No additional cross-references exist beyond the Wexler designation, indicating that this variety awaits recognition in the CONECA and Fivaz-Stanton systems. The extensive DDR catalog for 2004-P Wisconsin quarters reflects both the high die volume required for production and the intense collector scrutiny that the Extra Leaf controversy directed toward this issue.
