2015 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-012

Description

Depicting the Palmer-Epard Cabin at Homestead National Monument of America near Beatrice, Nebraska, the 2015 Homestead Quarter's reverse features a log cabin with six windows arranged in a grid — three on the left (L1, L2, L3) and three on the right (R1, R2, R3). DDR-012 targets window L2, the middle window of the left column, where medium spread displaces the window detail eastward under magnification. VarietyVista cataloged this die under UVC-2111 with die marker reference DMR-013, recording both reverse and obverse at early die state in Stage A, with Stage B at mid-die state and Stage C at late die state unconfirmed. The Homestead National Monument commemorates the Homestead Act of 1862, signed by Abraham Lincoln, which granted 160 acres of public land to settlers willing to improve it over five years. The Act transformed the American West, and the Palmer-Epard Cabin represents the frontier homesteading experience. The cabin's window grid became a productive zone for doubled die detection across the 2015 Homestead production run, with numerous DDR varieties documented at different window positions, each tracing to a distinct working die.
