2020 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-024

Description

Presenting Class VIII tilted hub doubling, this 2020 Philadelphia Jefferson Nickel variety shows doubling below the triangle above the center door and above the steps on Felix Schlag's Monticello reverse. Class VIII doubling occurs when the hub tilts during die preparation, producing a subtle but measurable angular displacement that affects specific zones of the design. Cataloged by the Wexler Team as WDDR-024, this variety is documented with multiple reverse die markers: a die gouge between I and C of MONTICELLO, a die gouge above the A of STATES, and a die gouge to the left of the right arch. Obverse die markers include a small die gouge to the left of the upper portion of the P mint mark. The concentration of die gouges across the reverse provides a reliable constellation of authentication points that help collectors confirm the specific die pair. Tilted hub varieties on the Monticello reverse reward close examination of the architectural details above the entrance and steps, where the angular displacement creates measurable offset in the fine horizontal and vertical lines of the building's facade.
