2015 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-020

Description

Showing a medium spread to the south in window R3 of the Palmer-Epard Cabin, the 2015 DDR-020 Homestead National Park Quarter captures doubling on one of the most architecturally detailed reverse designs in the America the Beautiful series. The Palmer-Epard Cabin — a historic log structure within Homestead National Monument of America in Beatrice, Nebraska — honored the Homestead Act of 1862 that opened western lands to settlement. The cabin's windows and structural details provided numerous small, well-defined elements where hub doubling could manifest, and the southward spread in window R3 gives collectors a specific diagnostic target. Die markers under UVC-2119 and DMR-021 document three die stages, tracking the variety from early production through progressive die wear. Philadelphia struck this copper-nickel clad quarter as part of the 2015 America the Beautiful program. VarietyVista cataloged DDR-020 within an extensive population of doubled die reverses for this issue — a count reflecting how the cabin's fine architectural lines amplified visible doubling.
