Description

WDDR-011 is listed in the DDR catalog for the 2017 Frederick Douglass National Historic Site quarter. The Wexler Team's attribution is under Wexler Variety ID 2017-P 25c DC WDDR-011. Identifying individual DDR varieties within such a large sequence requires careful attention to the specific location, direction, and magnitude of doubling on the reverse elements — the seated figure of Douglass, the writing desk, Cedar Hill, surrounding trees, and inscriptions each provide potential diagnostic areas. Douglass's legacy extends beyond abolition: he advised President Lincoln during the Civil War, championed women's suffrage alongside Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and served as U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia and Minister to Haiti. This Philadelphia Mint quarter was struck on standard clad planchets, and the progression through WDDR-011 and beyond charts continuous hub misalignment events.
