2013 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Holding the distinction of first cataloged doubled die reverse for the Great Basin issue, this 2013 Philadelphia Mint National Park Quarter WDDR-001 was attributed by the Wexler Team within the America the Beautiful series. Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada was featured on the 2013 quarter with a reverse depicting Lehman Caves and bristlecone pine trees that define the park's landscape. The ATB program, running from 2010 through 2021, featured five national parks or sites per year across a 56-coin series, with each reverse serving only a single year. This limited production window means doubled die varieties for any given ATB design are confined to that year's die production, creating a finite population of affected dies. The WDDR-001 designation often indicates stronger or more readily identifiable doubling compared to higher-numbered listings discovered later. ATB quarter varieties have attracted a growing collector following, with park-themed reverses offering distinctive natural imagery that differs from the heraldic eagle and state-specific designs that preceded them.
