2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-006

Description

Sixth doubled die reverse cataloged by VarietyVista for a 2007 State Quarter, this variety displays a strong spread around the outside of the saddle horn and the first tuft of mane — design elements from the Wyoming State Quarter's bucking horse and rider reverse. Die markers UVC-1699 and DMR-008 identify the specific die pair, with Stage A showing both the reverse and obverse in early die state (EDS), Stage B at EDS (unconfirmed), and Stage C at LDS (unconfirmed). The unusual notation of Stage B as EDS rather than MDS suggests the die may have had a shorter working life or that specimens from intermediate die states have not yet been confirmed. The Wyoming quarter was part of the 50 State Quarters program (1999-2008), which produced five new reverse designs annually and generated enormous public interest in collecting quarters from circulation. The bucking horse design, based on Wyoming's iconic symbol, featured detailed elements like the saddle horn and horse's mane that served as precise reference points for detecting hub doubling. Six documented DDRs for a single State Quarter reverse design reflects the collector enthusiasm that the program inspired, with variety specialists examining coins as each new design was released. The saddle horn's curved profile makes it especially sensitive to directional hub spread.
