2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-042

Description

Forty-second doubled die reverse in the 2007 Wyoming State Quarter catalog, DDR-042 shows medium spread under the saddle horn — the same region that has produced the highest concentration of doubled die varieties for this state quarter design. The medium spread characterization places this variety in the middle tier of doubling strength, stronger than the "light" spread seen on some entries but less dramatic than the "strong" varieties that represent the most pronounced hub displacements. The VarietyVista catalog records UVC-1791 and DMR-045, with Stage A confirming both reverse and obverse in Early Die State, while Stages B and C remain unconfirmed. Forty-two cataloged doubled die reverses for the Wyoming quarter represents one of the higher concentrations among all 50 State Quarters issues, driven by the fine detail of the saddle and rider design that makes even subtle hub misalignment detectable. The bucking horse and cowboy silhouette — chosen to represent Wyoming's frontier heritage and adopted from the state's iconic license plate design — features numerous fine lines in the saddle, reins, and rider's clothing that serve as sensitive indicators of doubled hub impressions. Wyoming was issued in 2007 alongside Utah, Montana, Washington, and Idaho as part of the program's ninth year of releases. The advanced catalog number (DDR-045 in the DMR designation) tracks the die marker reference distinct from the variety sequence number, reflecting the comprehensive documentation methodology applied to State Quarter varieties.
