Description
The 1909 VDDR VDDR-015 is a doubled die reverse (DDR) variety, where die hubbing misalignment produced visible doubling on the reverse design.

Stage A: Strong die scratch from upper S of PLURIBUS to dot – EDS Obverse is EDS Stage B: Die crack from last S of STATES to rim – MDS Die crack across bust to rim – MDS Stage C: Die crack Left wheat lines to rim – LMDS Die crack across bust – LMDS Stage D: LDS (unconfirmed). Reverse is RDV-002 (Deep cut N, V. D. B.) / RDV-001 (Shallow cut N, V. D. B). Stage C Obverse is the same Obverse as VDDR-030, but in LMDS.
