Description
WDDR-008 is a DDR on the 2017 Frederick Douglass issue in the ATB quarter series. Each WDDR number represents a unique die that received a flawed hubbing — a distinct manufacturing event where the hub shifted between impressions while sinking the reverse design. Attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID 2017-P 25c DC WDDR-008, this carries the eighth sequence position in that extensive catalog. Frederick Douglass's legacy as an abolitionist, author, and statesman is captured in the reverse showing him at his writing desk before Cedar Hill. The concentration of so many DDR varieties invites questions about the hubbing equipment used during the 2017 production cycle — whether a particular hub developed wear that caused inconsistent seating, or whether production pressures led to less precise die preparation.
