2016 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-008

Description

Attributed by the Wexler Team (Variety ID: 2016-P 25c KY WDDR-008), this doubled die reverse on the 2016-P Cumberland Gap National Park Quarter arises from hub misalignment during working die manufacturing, producing visible doubling across reverse design elements. The most useful detail for attribution is the direct comparison to WDDR-001 from the same issue: both varieties share a similar doubling pattern, but WDDR-008 originates from a different working die and the doubling is measurably weaker than WDDR-001. This distinction is critical, as superficial examination might cause confusion between the two. No other cross-references are established for this variety. The Cumberland Gap quarter was struck in 2016 for Kentucky as part of the America the Beautiful program (2010-2021) in clad copper-nickel. Doubled die varieties from the ATB series are actively documented, and the Wexler team has catalogued numerous RPM, DDO, and DDR entries across the program's eleven-year run. Collectors attributing ATB doubled dies should always cross-check against related varieties from the same date, as differing die marriages can produce closely similar but independently attributed results.
