2015 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-023

Description

Cataloged by VarietyVista, the 2015 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-023 on the America the Beautiful Quarter shows a medium spread to the southeast in the upper window designated R3 on the Homestead National Monument of America reverse. The America the Beautiful Quarter series (2010-2021) features cupronickel-clad coins at 5.67 grams and 24.3 mm diameter, with each design celebrating a national park or site. Die markers are UVC-2122 and DMR-024, with three documented die states: Stage A at Early Die State (unconfirmed), Stage B showing a depression along the lower right roof and a die break in the lower right corn husk with the obverse at EMDS, and Stage C at Late Die State (unconfirmed). The Homestead National Monument design depicts the Homestead cabin with architectural details including multiple windows and a corn husk motif, providing numerous fine elements where hub doubling can manifest. Window R3 refers to a specific window in the upper right portion of the building, and the southeast spread within this architectural element requires careful magnified examination against confirmed attribution images to distinguish from strike doubling or die deterioration artifacts.
