2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-005

Description

Very strong spread on the tip of the saddle horn makes this 2007 Wyoming State Quarter doubled die reverse one of the more visually accessible varieties in the State Quarter program. The bucking horse and rider design on Wyoming’s reverse provides a distinctive canvas for doubling, and the saddle horn — a small but prominent detail — shows the spread clearly under moderate magnification. Die markers are cataloged as UVC-1676 DMR-007 across three stages: Stage A in early die state (unconfirmed), Stage B with the reverse in early-to-mid die state progressing to mid die state with die chips in the designer’s initials and a die crack at the front of the bust, and Stage C in late die state (unconfirmed). Attributed by VarietyVista as DDR-005 for the 2007-P Wyoming Quarter, this variety benefits from the iconic Western imagery of the reverse design. The State Quarter program (1999–2008) generated enormous public interest in coin collecting, and doubled die varieties on popular state designs like Wyoming’s bucking bronco remain actively sought by both casual and dedicated error collectors.
