2016 (P) Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-033

Description

WDDR-033 — Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-033 — is listed in the Harpers Ferry DDR catalog. The design chosen for this site shows John Brown's Fort. This same compositional complexity that makes the design visually compelling also multiplies diagnostic opportunities, as the rendering of individual trees, brick walls, window details, and neighboring buildings creates a dense matrix of fine-line elements sensitive to hub misalignment. Harpers Ferry's history as the site of the largest federal armory in the antebellum South adds industrial heritage to the site's associations with abolitionism and Civil War combat. The extensive DDR catalog means variety specialists can pursue a lengthy registry set of Harpers Ferry doubled die reverses, each confirmed through independent Wexler documentation with die photographs and spread analysis.
