2017 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-025

Description

Twenty-five doubled die reverse varieties for a single quarter design places the 2017 Frederick Douglass issue in rarefied territory. Attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID 2017-P 25c DC WDDR-025, this documents the twenty-fifth confirmed instance of reverse hub misalignment during die manufacturing. The Frederick Douglass National Historical Site encompasses Cedar Hill and its grounds at 1411 W Street SE in Washington, D.C., authorized by Congress in 1962 and transferred to the National Park Service in 1988. Douglass's three autobiographies — Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1845), My Bondage and My Freedom (1855), and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1881) — represent one of the most important literary chronicles of the American experience. The quarter reverse captures Douglass writing, connecting his intellectual legacy to Cedar Hill. For variety specialists, WDDR-025 represents an advanced catalog position where differentiating between closely related varieties requires precise measurement and detailed comparison against the full range of documented doubling patterns.
