2015 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-003

Description

Exhibiting Class VIII Tilted Hub Doubling, the 2015 Jefferson Nickel WDDR-003 affects the Monticello building's architectural details. The doubling appears on the right side of the door frame on the center door above the steps, with extra thickness visible on the top left of the triangle above that same center door. Obverse die markers include a die chip nestled in Jefferson's hair west of the ear — a useful pickup point for quick identification. On the reverse, two short die scratches sit above the first S of STATES, accompanied by a small die dot positioned in the long window to the right of the center door. This regular strike variety rewards collectors who scrutinize the Monticello facade's finer details, where tilted hub doubling creates subtle but genuine displacement. The combination of architectural doubling and clear die markers makes attribution straightforward for experienced variety hunters.
