2016 (P) Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument) Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ SC WDDR-004 is a Fort Moultrie doubled die reverse variety for this ATB issue. Sullivan's Island, where Fort Moultrie stands at the entrance to Charleston Harbor, has been a strategic military position since the colonial era, and the quarter's reverse captures the fort's low-profile rampart architecture. The production of DDR working dies reflects standard die manufacturing variance at Philadelphia — each die undergoes multiple hubbing cycles to build full design relief, and any shift between impressions produces doubling. Higher WDDR numbers do not necessarily correlate with rarity or desirability. WDDR-004 may exhibit doubling in entirely different reverse zones than the preceding entries, as each die's hub misalignment follows its own geometry. The ATB program concluded in 2021 after producing quarters for all fifty states, five territories, and the District of Columbia.
