Description

In the Wexler cataloging system, each WDDR number is assigned sequentially as new varieties are confirmed through examination and die study, and WDDR-017 for the Frederick Douglass quarter represents the seventeenth distinct die confirmed to carry reverse hub doubling. Attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID 2017-P 25c DC WDDR-017, this variety is part of a documentation effort on the Frederick Douglass quarter. Confirming a new WDDR requires demonstrating that the doubling pattern is distinct from all previously cataloged varieties. Douglass's impact extended beyond abolition: he advised President Lincoln, championed women's suffrage alongside Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and served in multiple government positions during Reconstruction. The quarter's reverse, with Douglass at his writing desk and Cedar Hill behind him, condenses these achievements into a composition that has proven productive for die variety research.
