2006 Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-002

Description

Bearing the second Wexler catalog number assigned to the 2006-P Nebraska State Quarter, WDDO-002 is documented under Wexler Variety ID 2006-P 25¢ NE WDDO-002. Sequential WDDO numbers for the same date and mint indicate that separate working dies each received a misaligned secondary hub impression during manufacture, producing distinct doubling patterns. The Nebraska reverse depicts Chimney Rock National Historic Site rising above a covered wagon, commemorating the landmark in western Nebraska's Morrill County that served as a navigation waypoint for hundreds of thousands of westward migrants during the 1840s through 1860s. DDO varieties on State Quarters share the John Flanagan Washington obverse that served as the constant element from 1999 through 2008, and differences between WDDO-001 and WDDO-002 lie in the specific location, direction, and magnitude of the doubled impression on that common obverse. Attribution requires comparison against published Wexler die photographs showing the precise spread characteristics unique to each entry.
