2008 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Representing a different reverse working die from WDDR-001, the 2008 Andrew Jackson Presidential Dollar WDDR-004 was attributed by the Wexler Team with doubling at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the head and the right arm on Don Everhart II's Statue of Liberty reverse. This Position A, Philadelphia Mint entry is one of five WDDR-004 catalog listings spanning both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints across Position A, Position B, and Doubled Edge Lettering Overlap configurations. The Wexler variety ID references "2008-D $1 AJ WDDR-004," indicating the variety was originally identified from Denver production, though this entry documents a Philadelphia striking. Position A means the incused edge lettering reads upright when the obverse (Andrew Jackson's portrait) faces up. No significant die markers have been noted on either side. Struck in manganese brass clad composition. The WDDR-004 family demonstrates how a single reverse die variety generates multiple catalog entries based on mint facility and edge lettering configuration. Examine the second ray clockwise from Liberty's head at the right arm for the doubling, and verify edge lettering orientation from the obverse to confirm Position A.
