2024 (P) Dr. Mary Edwards Walker Quarter - Doubled Die Obverse VDDO-001

Description

Medium southward spread on Washington's eyelid accompanied by light spread on the nostril identifies this doubled die obverse for a 2024 American Women Quarter. Tracked by VarietyVista with die markers still awaiting full assignment (UVC-???? and DMR-00?), the die shows Stage A with both obverse and reverse in early die state (EDS), with Stages B (MDS) and C (LDS) unconfirmed. On Washington Quarter obverses, the secondary eyelid impression creates a visible doubled line that is relatively easy to detect under low magnification. The American Women Quarters program (2022-2025) features five new reverse designs annually honoring women who have contributed to American history and culture, while maintaining the Laura Gardin Fraser profile portrait of George Washington on the obverse — a design originally submitted for the 1932 quarter but not adopted until the 2022 redesign. As VDDO-001, this is the primary doubled die obverse for whatever specific 2024 Women Quarter issue it was discovered on, establishing the baseline entry for future DDO discoveries on the same date. The pending die marker codes (UVC-???? and DMR-00?) indicate this is a recently cataloged variety where full VarietyVista tracking numbers have not yet been assigned, common for contemporary issues still under initial research.
