2016 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-045

Description

Positioned in the middle tier of the extensive WDDR catalog for the 2016 Harpers Ferry National Park Quarter, WDDR-045 documents a hub doubling event on a Philadelphia Mint reverse die. The America the Beautiful series ran from 2010 through 2021, honoring national parks and sites across all fifty states, territories, and the District of Columbia. Harpers Ferry, representing West Virginia, features Thomas Hipschen's depiction of John Brown's Fort with surrounding landscape elements that created a design unusually rich in fine-line detail. No die markers are recorded for this variety, so collectors must rely on the specific doubling pattern for positive identification. The Wexler Team lists the cross-reference as 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-045, with no additional attributions from other reference systems. WDDR-045 contributes to a DDR population that makes Harpers Ferry one of the most studied ATB reverse designs among variety specialists.
