2013 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-025

Description

Numbered twenty-fifth in the doubled die reverse sequence, this 2013-P Mount Rushmore Quarter variety is part of what has become one of the most extensively documented modern quarter series in die variety research. The four presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore each represent a facet of American history that Gutzon Borglum considered essential: Washington for founding, Jefferson for westward expansion, Theodore Roosevelt for industrial growth and conservation, and Lincoln for preserving the Union. This layered historical significance made Mount Rushmore a fitting selection for the ATB program's representation of South Dakota, and Joseph Menna's engraving captured these themes with careful attention to the sculptural details of each presidential portrait. The Philadelphia Mint struck these quarters on standard copper-nickel clad planchets for general circulation, meaning specimens are accessible to variety hunters searching through rolls and bags.
