2007 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID 2007-P $1 GW WDDR-004, this Philadelphia Mint Presidential Dollar features the George Washington portrait — the inaugural design in the Presidential Dollar program that began in 2007. The doubled die reverse manifests at a very specific location: the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the head and the right arm of the Statue of Liberty on Don Everhart's common reverse. This pinpoint doubling location requires careful examination under magnification, as the intersection of ray and arm creates a complex junction where slight hub displacement produces visible but localized disruption. Obverse die markers provide independent attribution confirmation: a die scratch runs southeast from the top center of the W to the lower left of the A in WASHINGTON, and a second die scratch runs from west-northwest to east-southeast through the lower left H in WASHINGTON. On the reverse, a die scratch runs east from the center right of the dollar sign. No other attribution system cross-references have been established. The 2007-P George Washington Presidential Dollar was struck in manganese brass clad composition at 8.1 grams on 26.5mm planchets, with a mintage of 176,680,000 — the highest first-year total for any president in the program, reflecting initial collector enthusiasm.
