2015 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-012

Description

Found on the Saratoga National Historical Park quarter from the America the Beautiful series, WDDR-012 is noted as being very similar to WDDR-019, and collectors should carefully compare the doubling characteristics and die markers to ensure correct attribution between these two varieties. The Saratoga design commemorates the 1777 Battles of Saratoga in New York, a turning point of the American Revolution, and features the boot monument at the battlefield. Doubled die reverse varieties on America the Beautiful quarters are sought after due to the diverse and detailed reverse designs that provide ample surface area for visible doubling effects. Collectors examining 2015-P Saratoga quarters should use the die markers specific to this variety to distinguish it from the visually similar WDDR-019, as misattribution between the two is a genuine risk without careful side-by-side comparison of reference images and marker positions.
