2016 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-097

Description

One position beyond WDDR-096 in the Wexler catalog, this 2016-P Harpers Ferry National Park Quarter doubled die reverse is attributed under Wexler Variety ID: 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-097. Each cataloged WDDR number represents a unique working die that received a misaligned hub impression, meaning WDDR-097 is diagnostically distinct from its sequential neighbors despite sharing the same host coin design. Collectors examining 2016-P Harpers Ferry quarters for die varieties should use at least 5x to 10x magnification and compare their specimens against the specific attribution photographs published for each WDDR number. The America the Beautiful Quarter program, running from 2010 through 2021, featured 56 unique reverse designs honoring national parks and sites across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. Among these 56 designs, Harpers Ferry's reverse proved exceptionally productive for doubled die discovery, and the sustained collector interest in searching this date has built a catalog that dwarfs most other quarter issues in the program.
