2004 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-025

Description

Submitted by George W. Powell, Jr. and attributed by the Wexler Team as WDDR-025, this doubled die reverse on the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter features doubling visible as a doubled left nostril on the cow, one of the design's most recognizable elements. The cow is a central figure on the Wisconsin reverse, designed by Alfred Maletsky to represent the state's dairy heritage, and the doubling on the nostril provides a clear pickup point for variety hunters. Die markers aid in attribution: the obverse displays a small die chip between the designer's initials, while the reverse shows no significant additional markers beyond the doubling itself. This variety carries the Wexler Variety ID 2004-P 25c WI WDDR-025. The 50 State Quarters Program, running from 1999 through 2008, generated enormous public interest in coin collecting and produced a substantial catalog of die varieties across all fifty designs. The Wisconsin quarter attracted national attention when dramatic extra leaf varieties were discovered, and WDDR-025 adds to the rich roster of documented die errors for this popular issue.
