Description

Triple spread on the reverse legend elevates DDR-024 of the 1964 Proof Jefferson Nickel to one of the more visually dramatic doubled die reverses in the series. The variety displays strong triple spread on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, double spread on MONTICELLO and FIVE CENTS, and light spread on E PLURIBUS UNUM, creating a graduated doubling effect across different design elements. Cross-referenced as FS-801 in the Cherrypickers' Guide and cataloged as UVC-1259 and DMR-032, this variety carries multiple independent references confirming its significance. The year 1964 was the final year before the Coinage Act of 1965 eliminated silver from dimes and quarters, though Jefferson Nickels maintained their standard 75% copper and 25% nickel composition. Proof production in 1964 was substantial as collectors anticipated the coming compositional changes. The combination of triple, double, and single spread across different legend elements suggests a complex hub-doubling event during die manufacture. Struck at Philadelphia for inclusion in proof sets, this variety rewards careful reverse examination under magnification.
