2016 (P) Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-006
Error
Description
Documented under Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-006, this is a doubled die reverse on the 2016 Harpers Ferry National Park Quarter. The Harpers Ferry reverse's detailed rendering of John Brown's Fort presents numerous fine design elements where hub misalignment produces detectable doubling. During hubbing, a hardened hub bearing the design in positive relief is pressed into a softened die blank. If the hub shifts between successive impressions, the resulting die carries overlapping images that transfer as doubled elements on every coin struck. Harpers Ferry's significance extends well beyond John Brown's 1859 raid — the town changed hands eight times during the Civil War and witnessed the largest surrender of Union troops during the 1862 Maryland Campaign.
