2017 (P) George Rogers Clark National Historical Park Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Depicting George Rogers Clark leading his men through flooded plains toward Fort Sackville in the America the Beautiful quarter series, the 2017-P Indiana issue carries this primary doubled die reverse showing a very close spread below George Rogers Clark's lapel on the reverse. The doubling is subtle — classified as "very close" — requiring careful magnification to distinguish the secondary image from the primary design element. As WDDR-001, this is a doubled die reverse documented for the 2017-P George Rogers Clark quarter. The America the Beautiful program (2010-2021) produced five new reverse designs each year through 2020 (one in 2021) honoring national parks and sites, and the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park in Vincennes, Indiana, commemorates the Revolutionary War frontier campaign that secured the Northwest Territory for the young United States. No significant obverse or reverse die markers have been noted by the Wexler Team beyond the doubling itself, meaning attribution depends on identifying the spread below the lapel. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 2017-P 25c IN WDDR-001 with no known cross-references, this variety is one of hundreds of doubled die discoveries across the ATB quarter program, where the annual introduction of new reverse designs created fresh opportunities for hubbing anomalies with each design change.
