2018 (P) Block Island National Wildlife Refuge Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-006

Description

2018-P RI WDDR-006 is a doubled die reverse on the 2018-P Block Island National Wildlife Refuge quarter (Rhode Island) in the America the Beautiful series, cataloged by the Wexler team. Very slight doubling lies beneath the end of the left wing's third feather above the ground and runs on to the underside of the right wing's bottom feather. Obverse markers: a crack across the bust's base with a small chip left of the designer's initials JF; a gouge under the Y of LIBERTY; several gouges inside the U of QUARTER; a gouge touching the bottom of the first R in QUARTER; and a gouge under the last A of AMERICA. Reverse markers: a die break below the top feather on the bird's back; a crack through the leg feathers; a curved gouge to the right of the building; a gouge on the background bluff beneath the bird's right wing; and another over the bluff, NE of that one. George W. Powell, Jr. submitted the variety. Wexler lists no cross-references. Wexler notes this is a replacement listing: on re-examination, the original WDDR-006 proved to be die deterioration doubling.
