2014 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-012

Description

Allen Darrow's discovery of this 2014 Philadelphia Jefferson Nickel doubled die reverse documents Class VIII tilted hub doubling visible below the upper portion of the door frame on the center door above Monticello's steps. Class VIII tilted hub doubling creates spread that intensifies in one direction as the angular misalignment compounds with distance from the tilt axis, making the doorframe area a natural focal point for visible displacement. Die markers provide robust attribution on both sides: the obverse carries die chips on Jefferson's right eyebrow, while the reverse presents a die gouge above the upper right portion of the M in MONTICELLO and a separate die gouge above the I in MONTICELLO. These Monticello-specific reverse markers create a distinctive fingerprint when combined with the eyebrow chips. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 2014-P WDDR-012, this variety belongs to the twelfth documented doubled die reverse for the date, reflecting sustained collector interest in modern Jefferson Nickel die varieties.
