2016 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Fort Moultrie's palmetto-log fortification on Sullivan's Island withstood a British naval bombardment on June 28, 1776 — one of the first decisive American victories of the Revolutionary War — and the fort's silhouette appears on this 2016 ATB Quarter, which carries a doubled die reverse cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ SC WDDR-001. As the first documented DDR for the 2016-P Fort Moultrie issue, WDDR-001 establishes the opening entry in the Wexler catalog for reverse doubling on this South Carolina quarter. The reverse design by Richard Masters and Joseph Menna depicts the fort with its distinctive Moultrie Flag bearing a crescent and the word LIBERTY. Doubled die reverse varieties on ATB quarters affect the unique commemorative reverse rather than the shared Washington obverse. The ATB program ran from 2010 through 2021 and produced 56 designs honoring national parks and sites across all states and territories.
