Description

Immediately following WDDR-016 in the Wexler sequence, WDDR-017 is cataloged as Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-017 on the 2016 Harpers Ferry National Park Quarter. Consecutive WDDR numbers do not imply similar doubling characteristics — each entry represents an independent die manufacturing event where hub misalignment produced its own unique pattern of secondary design impression on a fresh working die. The Harpers Ferry site encompasses the lower town, Virginius Island, Camp Hill, and surrounding heights that figured prominently in Civil War military operations, including Stonewall Jackson's capture of the Union garrison during the 1862 Antietam Campaign. The quarter reverse focuses on a single building, John Brown's Fort. Die variety authentication follows the standard Wexler protocol: the examiner compares the suspect coin against published die photographs, checking both doubled design elements and any supplementary die markers that uniquely identify the specific working die.
