2017 (P) Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-013

Description

Cataloged by the Wexler Team under reference 2017-P 25c MO WDDR-013, this is a doubled die reverse for the 2017-P Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter. The Ozark Riverways design, celebrating Missouri's protected waterway system, features Alley Mill framed by dense trees — a scene designed by Ronald D. Sanders and sculpted by Renata Gordon with the kind of fine topographic detail that makes ATB quarter reverses particularly productive territory for doubled die attribution. Hub doubling on scenic reverses like the Ozark design tends to concentrate where the design relief changes most rapidly — roof lines, waterline boundaries, tree silhouettes — because these high-contrast transitions make even subtle displacement visible as shifted contour lines. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint on copper-nickel clad planchets weighing 5.67 grams at 24.26 mm diameter, these quarters circulated widely, and WDDR-013 specimens can surface in unsearched rolls with patience and appropriate magnification. No cross-references beyond the Wexler system are known for this variety.
