2016 (P) Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-022

Description

WDDR-022 — Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25¢ WV WDDR-022 — represents a distinct working die for the 2016-P Harpers Ferry ATB quarter issue. From a manufacturing perspective, each of these varieties originated from a separate hubbing session in which the reverse hub was impressed into a new die blank at a slightly different angle, rotation, or lateral position. Harpers Ferry was set aside as a national monument in 1944, redesignated a national historical park in 1963, and expanded multiple times, encompassing sites associated with early American industry, the abolition movement, and Civil War operations. The quarter's reverse shows John Brown's Fort, compressing centuries of significance into a single medallic composition. Variety collectors tracking the Harpers Ferry DDR sequence can use Wexler's published die photographs for each entry to build a comprehensive die study, comparing how different misalignment geometries produce visually distinct doubling.
