2018 (P) Block Island National Wildlife Refuge Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-012

Description

Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 2018-P 25¢ RI WDDR-012, this doubled die reverse appears on the 2018 Philadelphia Mint Block Island National Wildlife Refuge Quarter — the final 2018 release in the America the Beautiful series. Block Island's reverse depicts a black-crowned night heron in flight over the island's coastline, with detailed feather rendering and shoreline relief creating multiple zones where doubled hub impressions can manifest. No separate cross-references outside the Wexler system have been recorded. The America the Beautiful Quarter program, authorized under the 2008 Act, ran from 2010 through 2021 and produced 56 unique reverse designs — each offering fresh die variety research opportunities as new hubs and dies were created for every design. The Block Island issue holds particular interest for Rhode Island collectors and die variety specialists alike.
