2005 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-013

Description

Part of the Westward Journey series featuring the American Bison design, the 2005 Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickel WDDR-013 is cross-referenced as CDDR-023 and CONECA DDR-021. Doubled die reverse varieties on the Bison design are particularly sought after, as the single-year reverse type creates a limited window for variety production. The obverse die marker is a die dot on Jefferson's forehead near the rim. No significant reverse markers have been noted. Collectors should focus on the reverse Bison design elements when examining for the doubling characteristics of this variety, as the DDR designation indicates the doubling appears on the reverse where the iconic Bison stands on a raised mound. The CONECA and Crawford cross-references provide alternative attribution pathways for collectors using different reference systems.
