2013 (P) Mount Rushmore National Memorial Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-032

Description

This WDDR-032 for the 2013-P Mount Rushmore Quarter represents a doubled die reverse variety for this issue, underscoring the thoroughness with which specialists have examined Philadelphia Mint production. The high WDDR numbers reflect not just the large number of working dies used but also the dedication of modern researchers employing digital imaging, high-powered magnification, and systematic die comparison techniques unavailable to earlier numismatists. The America the Beautiful Quarters program ran from 2010 through 2021, honoring national parks across all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and five territories with unique reverse designs five per year through 2020 (one in 2021). Among these 56 issues, the Mount Rushmore quarter stands out for the sheer volume of documented die varieties. Joseph Menna's engraving of workers carving the Washington and Jefferson faces in South Dakota granite continues to reward careful examination. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 2013-P 25c SD WDDR-032. The progression from WDDR-002 through WDDR-032 chronicles sustained variety research spanning years of collector effort.
