2024 VDDR VDDR-004

Description

Cataloged on the 2024 Philadelphia Mint Zitkala-Sa American Women Quarter, VDDR-004 exhibits a medium spread appearing as an extra chin, with additional doubling visible on the right braids and diamonds under the sun. The American Women Quarter program (2022-2025) features unique reverse designs honoring notable women, and the Zitkala-Sa reverse — depicting the Yankton Dakota writer and activist — includes finely rendered braid and diamond details that proved sensitive to hub displacement. The extra chin is among the most collector-friendly doubled die indicators, as facial doubling is easily recognizable without magnification. Attributed by VarietyVista. Die Markers: UVC and DMR codes are pending assignment. Stage A: Two die scratches under the second diamond from the braid (EDS); die gouge on bust above LG of LGF initials (EDS). Stage B: MDS (unconfirmed). Stage C: LDS (unconfirmed). The three-stage die state progression from early through late die state documents the full working life of this die. The pending classification codes reflect the variety's recent discovery on a current-year issue still under active cataloging.
