2007 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-010

Description

A second listing entry for the 2007-P George Washington Presidential dollar WDDR-010, this variety records the same very slight doubling visible at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from Liberty's head and her right arm on Don Everhart II's Statue of Liberty reverse design. The Presidential dollar series launched in 2007 with four designs per year honoring the nation's presidents in order of service, and George Washington's inaugural issue generated substantial variety collector interest as researchers examined the new design for doubled dies, repunched mintmarks, and other attributable die varieties. The Wexler Team assigned the designation Wexler Variety ID: 2007-P $1 GW WDDR-010, with no additional cross-references currently known from other attribution services. Both obverse and reverse die markers are characterized as EDS (Early Die State) with no significant distinguishing marks beyond the doubling itself, meaning the very slight displacement at the ray-arm junction represents the sole reliable diagnostic for identifying this specific working die. The very slight classification places this variety at the threshold of detectability — the secondary hub impression is displaced by only a minimal amount from the primary, requiring precise lighting and magnification of 20x or greater to resolve. The Statue of Liberty reverse design, common to all Presidential dollars, features Liberty holding a torch with radiating rays, and the geometric intersection of these linear elements creates a diagnostic-friendly junction point. Philadelphia struck approximately 176.68 million 2007-P Washington dollars. Collectors should employ high magnification focused on the specific intersection point between the second clockwise torch ray and Liberty's right arm, using tilted illumination to cast shadows that reveal the minimal displacement between primary and secondary hub impressions.
