1999-D Connecticut 25c-WDDR-001! Help Please!

It is a DDR, but is it from this die? That is up to John to check and check.

Oh, so it IS a DDR. Just from a different Die. Possibly.

Let me go move some stuff around on my picture and see what I can do. Be right Back coop.

If your coin is a 1999-D, then it has to be a different die than 1999-P WDDR-001.

It does look similar to WDDR-001. However, I've always been skeptical about this one being an actual DDR. I've found similar ones in the exact same spot that just don't have the same appearance as a typical single-squeeze era doubled die. My first thought was it could be a light die clash leaving remnants of Washington's 'spaghetti hair' in the reverse. I tried making an overlay to prove it was a clash (a lot harder than I thought), and the doubling does match up to two strands of hair. Does anyone agree or is this just confirmation bias on my part?

'Doubling' and hair that may have caused it are highlighted in red.





Just realized I forgot to save the version that actually has the proper transparent overlay, how fun.

One I found:

Yeah, I know it is a different one, but it definitely has similarly shaped doubling in the exact same spot.

And yes, die clashes would leave the exact same mark on multiple coins.

Also, this is not confirmed. This is my theory, I'm not stating this as fact. I'll try to see find out what Wexler thinks of this explanation. For now, since WDDR-001 is still labeled a DDR, assume your coin is one too.

I'll let you know what Wexler thinks once I receive a response.

I just found more proof to back up my claim.

Found these pics of a Connecticut quarter with a strong die clash on another forum. (Credit to dchjr). The die clash marks are nearly identical in shape and location to your coin, my coin, and WDDR-001. I firmly believe WDDR-001 is a misattributed die clash.

But on die clashes, it is the outline of the edges of the bust and buildings that affects the opposite die. The areas you are looking at are deeper into the die die and was altered during the creation of the die. These are class 9 doubled dies that are not in the correct hub setup and snaps into the correct place. But because the hub was tilted, it makes a kiss on the central location, then moves into the correct location. Thus some devices are hub doubled. The die is doubled, thus the extra devices we see.

Looking at the new image, it does look like WDDR-001. But The other image posted looks like a new listing.

Tanman2001, you might want to submit that one. So far this State from Denver has only one so far.
