2013 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-033

Description

Standing as the highest-numbered entry in this group of cataloged Mount Rushmore Quarter varieties, WDDR-033 caps a sequence that begins at WDDR-002 and encompasses more than thirty distinct doubled die reverses from 2013 Philadelphia Mint production. This extraordinary count places the Mount Rushmore quarter among the most prolific sources of doubled die reverse varieties in the entire America the Beautiful series, and possibly among all modern United States quarter issues. The phenomenon of numerous DDRs from a single date and mint is not unprecedented in American numismatics, but it remains noteworthy whenever design complexity, production volume, and collector scrutiny converge to produce such a substantial catalog. The Mount Rushmore National Memorial, completed in 1941 after fourteen years of work, features Washington, Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Lincoln in a composition that translates to coinage with rich detail. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 2013-P 25c SD WDDR-033. Whether additional varieties beyond WDDR-033 will be discovered remains an open question, as the population of surviving 2013-P quarters continues to be examined by variety specialists.
