2005 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-001

Description

Cross-referenced as the significant FS-801, DDR-001 for the 2005 Oregon State Quarter displays strong spread on many branches of the evergreen tree and the high points of the lower rim of the rocky shoreline — hub doubling that affects both the biological and geological elements of the Crater Lake design. Die stage data includes UVC-1531, DMR-003. Stage A shows both reverse and obverse in Early Die State (EDS), confirmed. Stage B and Stage C remain unconfirmed at MDS and LDS respectively. The FS-801 cross-reference means this variety is recognized in the Fivaz-Stanton attribution guide, granting it visibility in third-party grading service holder labels and mainstream price guides. Research notes identify this as an SMS (Satin Finish) variety that can be found in 2005 Mint Sets — the satin finish coins produced from 2005 through 2010 have a distinctive matte-like surface texture that differs from both proof and standard business strikes. The Oregon State Quarter reverse, depicting Crater Lake with its Wizard Island and surrounding evergreen forest, provided detailed imagery where hub doubling could manifest across tree branches, shoreline contours, and water features. Cataloged by VarietyVista, DDR-001's FS-801 designation makes it one of the most recognized and actively traded State Quarter doubled die varieties.
