Description

Struck on the 2022 Philadelphia Anna May Wong Quarter — the first U.S. circulating coin to feature an Asian American — this doubled die obverse displays light spread west on the D of GOD and the hair curl above the ear. Cataloged by VarietyVista as VDDO-002 with pending codes (UVC-???? DMR-00?), three die stages are documented: Stage A in early die state (unconfirmed), Stage B showing a die crack off the tip of the nose in early-to-mid die state with the reverse also in EMDS, and Stage C in late die state (unconfirmed). The nose crack in Stage B serves as the strongest visual marker for identifying this die pair. Anna May Wong's quarter belongs to the American Women Quarters Program launched in 2022, honoring trailblazing women in American history. The obverse doubling on GOD and the hair curl targets portrait-adjacent elements where minor hub displacement produces detectable separation.
