2017 (P) Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-006

Description

WDDR-006 (Wexler reference 2017-P 25c MO WDDR-006, with "MO" denoting the Missouri design), a doubled die reverse on the 2017-P Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter, was cataloged by the Wexler Team with no additional cross-references known. The Ozark Riverways reverse, designed by Ronald D. Sanders and sculpted by Renata Gordon, depicts Alley Mill, the roller mill at Alley Spring — a composition that includes the mill's stonework and windows, water, and tree branches, each providing distinct surface characteristics where hub doubling can manifest differently. The America the Beautiful Quarters program entered its eighth year with the 2017 designs, and by this point the variety-hunting community had developed systematic methods for surveying each new release, which accounts for the substantial DDR count across the ATB series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint on copper-nickel clad planchets at 5.67 grams and 24.26 mm diameter, the 2017 Ozark Riverways quarter was distributed through standard circulation channels. The scenic and naturalistic design elements characteristic of ATB reverses continue to provide variety attributors with rich diagnostic material, and WDDR-006 documents one of the specific hub misalignment events that occurred during the Missouri design's production run.
