2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-037

Description

Thirty-seventh doubled die reverse documented for the 2007-P Wyoming State Quarter, this variety shows strong spread on the first tuft of the bronco's mane with light spread on the tip of the saddle horn — design elements from the iconic bucking horse and rider on the Wyoming reverse. Cataloged by VarietyVista under UVC-1786, DMR-040, the die progresses through three stages: Stage A is early die state (unconfirmed), Stage B reaches early-to-mid die state with the reverse at EMDS and a die break on the front of the bust at EMDS, and Stage C is late die state (unconfirmed). The die break on Washington's bust during Stage B provides a secondary obverse marker useful for die state identification. The Wyoming bucking bronco design, adapted from the state's license plate symbol, featured deeply sculpted relief on the horse and rider that made it susceptible to hub doubling on design high points like the mane tufts and saddle hardware. Thirty-seven doubled die reverses for a single State Quarter date attests to the thoroughness of variety research on this popular series.
