2008 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Another entry sharing the WDDR-002 attribution for the 2008-P Andrew Jackson Presidential dollar, this variety records the same reverse doubling at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the Statue of Liberty's head and her right arm on Don Everhart's common Presidential dollar reverse. The Wexler Team identified consistent obverse die markers across all entries carrying this designation: die gouges above and to the right of the N in ANDREW on the Jackson portrait, with no significant reverse markers beyond the doubling itself. The Andrew Jackson dollar — seventh president, served 1829-1837 — was released as part of the four-president annual cycle that characterized the Presidential dollar program from 2007 through its conclusion in 2016. The reverse design, shared across all Presidential dollars, features the Statue of Liberty in a three-quarter view with radial rays emanating from her crown, and the doubling at the specific junction where the second clockwise ray crosses Liberty's right arm provides a precise geometric diagnostic. The repeated documentation of this variety across multiple catalog entries may reflect tracking of different specimens, different die states, or different die pairs exhibiting the same attributed doubling — the consistent obverse die markers (gouges near the N in ANDREW) suggest a single die pair documented from multiple sources. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 2008-P $1 AJ WDDR-002. Collectors pursuing this variety should examine Presidential dollars from the 2008 Andrew Jackson release, first identifying the obverse die gouges near ANDREW and then inspecting the second clockwise ray intersection under magnification for the displaced contour that defines the WDDR-002 attribution.
