2016 (P) Theodore Roosevelt National Park Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Honoring Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the badlands of western North Dakota, this 2016 Philadelphia Mint America the Beautiful quarter carries a doubled die reverse attributed as the second such variety for the design. The reverse depicts Roosevelt on horseback near the Little Missouri River, in the rugged landscape that inspired the twenty-sixth president's conservation legacy — Roosevelt's ranching experience in the Dakota Territory during the 1880s shaped his commitment to preserving wild places. Hub misalignment during die preparation produced visible doubling on the reverse, cataloged by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 25c ND WDDR-002, with the ND code designating North Dakota. The Theodore Roosevelt quarter was the fourth of five 2016 ATB designs, and the park, set aside as a national memorial park in 1947, became a national park in 1978.
