First Doubled Die On Cumberland ATB Quarter

Numismatic News - Variety hunter Alfonso Lopez has garnered credit for finding the first reported Doubled Die Reverse on a 2016-P Kentucky Cumberland Gap America the Beautiful Quarter. The doubling is easily seen with the naked eye (for some of us) or under low magnification and is a variety worth looking for to add to your collection. Several other minor doubled die reverses have been found for this type since this initial find.

The doubling shows as "extra fringe" showing essentially south of the normal area on the frontiersman's coat. John Wexler has it listed in his files as WDDR-001 and CONECA's attributer, Dr. James Wiles, has it listed as DDR-001/1-R-VIII. It's slated for inclusion in the next edition of my book, Strike It Rich With Pocket Change.
