2006 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

Chimney Rock, the iconic sandstone spire that guided Oregon Trail emigrants across the Nebraska prairie, rises on the reverse of the 2006 Nebraska State Quarter, and this Philadelphia Mint specimen carries a doubled die obverse cataloged as Wexler Variety ID 2006-P 25¢ NE WDDO-001. As the first documented DDO for the 2006-P Nebraska quarter, WDDO-001 establishes the baseline entry in the Wexler catalog for this date, mint, and state combination. Doubled die obverse varieties on State Quarters affect the standard Washington portrait shared across all fifty commemorative reverses, with secondary hub impressions potentially visible on IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, the date, or portrait contours. Nebraska entered the Union as the 37th state in 1867. The State Quarters program generated unprecedented public engagement with coin collecting, driving intensive die variety research on each new release. Philadelphia production for 2006 State Quarters ran in the hundreds of millions per design.
