2011 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Attributed by the Wexler Team under the designation 2011-P $1 AJ WDDR-001, this Presidential Dollar doubled die reverse shows doubling at the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the head and the right arm of the Statue of Liberty — a precise and localized manifestation of hub misalignment on the common reverse design shared by all Presidential Dollars. The "AJ" identifier specifies this as the Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar, the seventeenth in the series honoring American presidents. Die markers support attribution: a small die gouge at the rim below the S in TRUST on the obverse, and a die scratch inside the lower second A in AMERICA on the reverse. No other cross-references are currently known. The Presidential Dollar reverse, designed by Don Everhart, features the Statue of Liberty with radiating rays and the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA — and the intersection point where the ray meets Liberty's arm provides a geometric reference where even subtle hub displacement creates visible doubling. Presidential Dollars were struck from 2007 through 2016 with unique obverse portraits for each president and a common reverse, meaning doubled die reverses documented on any presidential issue share the same Statue of Liberty reverse design but occur on different individual working dies. The 2011 production year included four presidential issues (Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and James A. Garfield), each requiring separate obverse dies but potentially sharing reverse die stock. As the first documented DDR for the 2011-P Andrew Johnson dollar, WDDR-001 establishes the variety baseline for this specific issue.
