2016 (P) Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-038

Description

Nearing the upper limit of the documented catalog, WDDR-038 is cataloged as Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-038 on the 2016 Philadelphia Mint Harpers Ferry National Park Quarter. The reverse depicts John Brown's Fort, the only armory building to survive the Civil War — the town was devastated by Civil War action and periodic flooding from both rivers. From an authentication perspective, distinguishing WDDR-038 requires careful comparison against Wexler die photographs, examining both primary doubling characteristics and secondary die markers such as scratches, gouges, or pitting that uniquely fingerprint this working die. The collaborative documentation model underlying the Wexler system relies on variety discoverers submitting photographic evidence and die stage observations, which the team evaluates and assigns a catalog number. WDDR-038's high sequence number reflects sustained community engagement.
