2007 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-017

Description

Seventeenth Wexler-attributed doubled die reverse for the 2007 Presidential Dollar series, this variety shows doubling at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the head and the right arm of the Statue of Liberty on the common reverse design. Attributed under Wexler Variety ID 2007-P $1 GW WDDR-017, the GW designation identifies this as a George Washington dollar — the first issue in the Presidential Dollar series that began in 2007. Reverse die markers include a small die gouge to the right of the lower first S in STATES and another small die gouge to the right of the bottom of the I in AMERICA, while no significant obverse markers have been noted. The Presidential Dollar reverse, designed by Don Everhart II, features the Statue of Liberty with radiating rays — and the intersection point between a ray and Liberty's arm creates a junction where hub displacement produces visible doubling because two distinct design elements cross at a precise angle. Seventeen documented WDDRs for the inaugural 2007-P George Washington dollar reflects the intense examination that the first Presidential Dollar received from collectors and variety researchers. The series (2007 to present) honored U.S. presidents in order of service, and the common reverse remained consistent throughout, making it a stable platform for tracking doubled die frequencies across different dates and mints.
