Description
Cedar Hill, Frederick Douglass's final home in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C., became a National Historic Site in 1988 and was selected as the District of Columbia's representative in the America the Beautiful quarter program. Hub misalignment during the multiple impressions required to sink a working die created the doubling documented under Wexler Variety ID 2017-P 25c DC WDDR-006, as attributed by the Wexler Team. The modern hubbing process typically requires multiple impressions, and any shift between them produces a doubled die. The Philadelphia Mint struck these quarters on standard clad planchets, and high die consumption rates — each pair typically striking tens of thousands of coins — mean that even a small percentage of flawed hubbings can generate a substantial variety catalog over a full production run.
