2009 (P) District of Columbia Satin Finish Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-014

Description

In the Wexler catalog sequence for the 2009-P District of Columbia Quarter doubled die reverses, WDDR-014 joins a family of hub doubling events cataloged on the Duke Ellington reverse designed by Joel Iskowitz and sculpted by Don Everhart. The Wexler Team designation 2009-P 25c SF DC WDDR-014 and the "None known" cross-reference notation confirm this variety exists exclusively within the Wexler documentation system. The DC Quarter's reverse — depicting the jazz musician and composer Duke Ellington seated at a grand piano — features a combination of figurative portraiture, musical instrument detail, and the inscription "Justice for All" that creates a textured design canvas uniquely suited to revealing hub doubling across multiple design types simultaneously. Without specific die markers documented in the current entry, attribution of WDDR-014 requires detailed comparison of the doubling characteristics — which design elements are affected, the angular direction of spread, and the separation magnitude — against the Wexler reference files. The DC and US Territories program's six-design production year compressed the manufacturing timeline for each design, and Philadelphia's output of DC quarters contributed to the working die population from which these varieties emerged.
