2015 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Attributed by the Wexler Team on the 2015 Philadelphia Blue Ridge Parkway quarter from the America the Beautiful program, WDDR-002 showcases doubled die effects on a reverse design depicting a tunnel section along the scenic North Carolina parkway. The Blue Ridge Parkway design captures a stone-arched tunnel framing a mountain vista, with the tunnel's curved masonry lines and surrounding foliage providing detailed areas where hub misalignment during die preparation can leave visible spread. As the second doubled die reverse cataloged for this issue, WDDR-002 reflects the continued productivity of variety hunters who systematically examine each new ATB release for die anomalies. The America the Beautiful quarter series, which ran from 2010 through 2021, featured national parks and sites from all fifty states and territories, generating substantial collector interest and roll-searching activity throughout its twelve-year span. Collectors should focus on the tunnel arch and stone detail elements when authenticating this variety, as these finely rendered areas are most likely to reveal the directional displacement characteristic of doubled die errors.
