2008 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-010

Description

Completing the four-piece set, this Philadelphia Mint Position A specimen of WDDR-010 on the 2008 John Quincy Adams Presidential Dollar rounds out every possible combination of mint facility and edge orientation for this doubled die reverse. Position A places the edge inscription so it reads normally when the coin is rotated with the obverse toward the viewer. The hub-originated doubling at the intersection of the 2nd clockwise ray and Liberty's right arm is identical across all four permutations — what distinguishes each is the production context. Philadelphia's Position A coins complete the matrix: Denver Position B, Philadelphia Position B, Denver Position A, and now Philadelphia Position A. Obverse and reverse die markers — the gouge between 8 and 2 in 1829 and the dot west of the dollar sign — persist throughout, confirming shared hub ancestry. Collectors assembling a comprehensive WDDR-010 attribution require all four variants to fully document how a single hub defect manifested across the Presidential Dollar production pipeline. Cataloged by the Wexler Team.
