2016 (P) Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument) Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-003

Description

Cataloged as Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ SC WDDR-003, this doubled die reverse on the 2016 Fort Moultrie National Park Quarter represents a reverse doubling from the Philadelphia Mint for this design. Fort Moultrie was the 35th release in the America the Beautiful series, honoring the South Carolina site that served in the nation's coastal defenses from the Revolutionary War through World War II. The reverse contains fine architectural lines and lettering that serve as sensitive indicators of hub misalignment during die manufacture. When a hub impresses a working die at a slightly different position on its second pass, the resulting doubled impression creates extra metal along design edges detectable under moderate magnification. The Wexler sequential numbering allows collectors and dealers to reference each variety precisely.
