2016 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-001

Description

Depicting Sergeant William Jasper's heroic act of returning the regimental flag to the ramparts during the 1776 Battle of Sullivan's Island, the Fort Moultrie National Park Quarter provides a richly detailed figural scene — and DDR-001 captures light spread South as an extra coat edge along the soldier's lower left coat. This southward displacement pushes the secondary image below the primary, creating a subtle doubled contour along the uniform that requires careful examination under magnification. Die markers UVC-2393 and DMR-002 provide the cataloging references. Stage A documents the obverse in Early Die State and the reverse in Early-to-Mid Die State. As DDR-001, this variety holds the primary position in the doubled die reverse catalog for the 2016 Fort Moultrie quarter, the thirty-fifth coin in the America the Beautiful quarter series. The reverse design by Richard Masters depicts a moment from the first decisive American victory in the Revolutionary War, when the palmetto-log fort withstood a British naval bombardment. Figural design elements like the soldier's coat provide organic contour lines where even light doubling becomes detectable.
