2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-029

Description

Displaying medium spread under the saddle horn on the Wyoming State Quarter reverse, this twenty-ninth doubled die reverse documents a hubbing anomaly on one of the final issues in the 50 State Quarters program. Die markers include UVC-1745, DMR-032, with Stage A showing both reverse and obverse in Early Die State, Stage B at Mid Die State (unconfirmed), and Stage C at Late Die State (unconfirmed). The Wyoming State Quarter, released in 2007, featured a bucking horse and rider — the iconic image from Wyoming's license plates and state brand — along with the inscription "The Equality State." The saddle horn, a small but finely rendered detail in the western riding scene, provided a location where hub doubling could produce visible separation between the original and displaced design impressions. Twenty-nine documented doubled die reverses for the 2007 Wyoming quarter represents an extraordinary count that reflects the intense collector attention this program received. The 50 State Quarters program, running from 1999 through 2008, generated unprecedented public interest in coin collecting, and each new design was scrutinized by millions of enthusiasts searching for die varieties. Philadelphia's 2007 production generated hundreds of millions of Wyoming quarters, each requiring multiple die pairs that individually carried the potential for hubbing misalignment. Cataloged by VarietyVista, DDR-029 exemplifies the depth of doubled die documentation that the State Quarters era produced across its ten-year run.
