2013 (P) Mount Rushmore National Memorial Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-025

Description

This 2013-P Mount Rushmore Quarter variety is a doubled die reverse. 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 two carved faces it shows, Washington's and Jefferson's. 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.
