2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-049
Error
Description
Documented by VarietyVista with catalog code UVC-1841 and die marriage reference DMR-052, the 2007 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-049 is a State Quarter variety showing a medium spread between the first and second tuft of the bucking bronco's mane on the Wyoming reverse design. The die state progression is well documented across three stages: Stage A shows both reverse and obverse in early die state (EDS); Stage B presents mid-die-state characteristics including a die chip between the upper letters TY of EQUALITY, a die chip on the front of the bust on the obverse, and a die crack running south from Washington's nose; Stage C is cataloged as late die state but remains unconfirmed. This three-stage documentation tracks the progressive deterioration of both dies through their service life, with the mid-die-state chips and cracks providing additional attribution markers beyond the primary doubling feature. The Wyoming State Quarter, released in 2007 as part of the 50 State Quarters Program (1999-2008), features a bucking horse and rider design with the inscription EQUAL RIGHTS and THE EQUALITY STATE, referencing Wyoming's distinction as the first territory to grant women's suffrage in 1869. The obverse carries John Flanagan's Washington portrait, originally designed in 1932. Struck in copper-nickel clad composition (8.33% nickel, 91.67% copper) weighing 5.67 grams with a diameter of 24.3 mm at the Philadelphia Mint, this variety demonstrates how even modern high-speed minting operations can produce doubled die varieties, with the 49th cataloged DDR for this date and mint reflecting the large working die population required for billions of quarters produced annually.
