2005 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-052

Description

Among the most sought-after State Quarter error varieties, doubled die reverses on the 2005 Minnesota issue are prized for the "extra tree" effect they produce — and DDR-052 shows a medium spread manifesting as an extra tree close to and upper right of the third full tree in the design. Minnesota State Quarter extra tree varieties rank among the most popular errors in the entire State Quarter program, eagerly hunted by collectors in circulation. Die markers are cataloged as UVC-1507 DMR-055 across three stages: Stage A with the reverse in early die state and a die crack with die break on the front of the bust at early-to-mid die state, Stage B in mid die state (unconfirmed), and Stage C in late die state (unconfirmed). Attributed by VarietyVista as the fifty-second documented doubled die reverse for the 2005-P Minnesota Quarter, the high count reflects the enormous collector interest that drives continued research on this date. The Minnesota reverse design depicting a lake, trees, and state outline made doubled die varieties particularly visible and visually compelling.
