1955-D Doubled Die Reverse DDR-007

Description

From a low-mintage Denver Mint year for Jefferson Nickels, the 1955-D DDR-007 exhibits light spread confined to the letters of AMERICA on the reverse. Cataloged as UVC-912 with DMR-018, this variety progressed through four documented die stages spanning the full life cycle of the die. Stage A represents early die state, Stage B shows both obverse and reverse at mid-die state, Stage C finds both sides at late-mid die state, and Stage D reaches late die state. The inclusion of a late-mid die state designation between the standard mid and late classifications reflects the granular documentation approach used for varieties where intermediate die deterioration stages can be reliably distinguished. While the doubling itself is subtle and limited to AMERICA, the four-stage documentation provides collectors with multiple die-state benchmarks for precise attribution.
