2005 (S) Proof Oregon Silver State Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-009

Description

Struck as a proof at the San Francisco Mint and attributed by the Wexler Team, this 2005-S Oregon State Quarter doubled die reverse is cross-referenced as Crawford: CDDR-004 and Wexler Variety ID: 2005-S 25¢ Pr OR WDDR-009. The dual cross-referencing between the Wexler and Crawford catalogs provides two independent documentation sources for verification. Oregon's State Quarter reverse, credited by NGC to Donna Weaver, depicts Crater Lake with Wizard Island, conifers along the rim, and the inscription CRATER LAKE framing the scenic vista. The detailed natural landscape offered multiple areas susceptible to hub doubling during proof die production. Proof State Quarters were struck on specially prepared planchets with polished dies at San Francisco, and on proof issues mirror-like fields and frosted devices make even subtle doubling more visible than on business strikes. The Pr designation in the Wexler catalog code confirms the proof strike type. Collectors often pursue proof DDRs alongside business strike counterparts to build comprehensive die variety sets for each state's design.
