2013 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-009

Description

Documented on the 2013 Philadelphia Mount Rushmore National Memorial quarter from the America the Beautiful series, WDDR-009 was attributed by the Wexler Team. The Mount Rushmore reverse depicts the iconic granite carving of presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln, a design rich with fine sculptural detail where hub doubling can produce subtle but detectable spread across facial features, rock textures, and lettering. As the ninth doubled die reverse cataloged for this issue, WDDR-009 demonstrates the prolific variety output that the ATB quarter program generated during its 2010 through 2021 run, with five new designs per year offering fresh canvases for die-variety hunters. The South Dakota issue commemorates one of America's most recognizable monuments, and doubled die varieties on this design carry particular appeal because the carved presidential portraits provide natural reference points for detecting directional spread. Collectors should examine the reverse under magnification, focusing on the carved faces and surrounding rock detail where even minor hub misalignment during die production would leave measurable displacement.
