2007 (P) Wyoming State Quarter - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

WDDO-001, a doubled die obverse for the 2007 Wyoming State Quarter struck at Philadelphia, was cataloged by the Wexler Team under 2007-P 25 cents WY WDDO-001, with no parallel cross-references in other attribution systems. Wyoming, the 44th state, was represented in the 2007 State Quarter program with a reverse featuring a bucking horse and rider silhouette — the Bucking Horse and Rider image that also appears on the state's license plates. Hub misalignment during die production displaced obverse design elements to create the doubling that earned this die its WDDO designation. Without documented die markers on either side, attribution relies on matching the doubling pattern and its specific characteristics — direction of spread, affected design elements, and relative intensity — against published reference photographs. The standard John Flanagan Washington obverse provides consistent reference geometry across all State Quarter DDOs, with IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, the date, and Washington's portrait all serving as potential doubling sites whose specific affected areas vary from one WDDO number to the next.
