2013 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Another entry sharing the WDDR-002 designation within the 2013 Presidential dollar family, this variety documents the same diagnostic doubling at the intersection of the second crown ray and the Statue of Liberty's right arm on Don Everhart's standardized reverse. The Wexler Variety ID 2013-P $1 TR WDDR-002 associates this entry with the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential dollar — the 26th President, whose bold domestic and foreign policy initiatives during his 1901-1909 tenure included establishing the United States Mint's collaboration with Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign American gold coinage, an effort that produced some of the most artistically celebrated coins in the nation's history. The duplicate catalog entry for the same physical variety across the database reflects the structure of listings where individual entries may correspond to different reference contexts while documenting identical die characteristics. No significant die markers on either the obverse or reverse were recorded beyond the doubling anomaly at the ray-arm intersection, making the hub doubling detection the sole attribution criterion. The Presidential dollar program's consistent reverse design across all issues means the diagnostic location — the second ray clockwise from the crown intersecting the right arm — remains constant whether the obverse portrays Roosevelt, Lincoln, or any other president in the series. Philadelphia produced the 2013 Presidential dollars in collector-only quantities, reflecting the program's restricted distribution status since 2012. Collectors examining this variety need to position the reverse for clear viewing of the Statue of Liberty's crown ray system, identify the second ray clockwise from the head, and inspect the arm intersection under magnification for doubled or displaced junction geometry.
