2004 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-008

Description

Among the strongest doubled die reverses documented on the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter, DDR-008 presents strong spread west on the upper outer nostril of the cow — a doubling location that emerged across multiple die pairs within the Wisconsin Quarter production run. The strong classification places this variety at the more visually dramatic end of the spectrum, where the displaced secondary impression sits far enough from the primary that the doubled nostril contour is discernible without extreme magnification. Cataloged as UVC-1983 with DMR-009, the variety has been documented at Stage A in early die state, with mid-die and late die states unconfirmed. The 2004 Wisconsin State Quarter is already famous for its "Extra Leaf" varieties — the High Leaf and Low Leaf errors that generated national media attention — but the broader census of doubled die reverses on this issue extends well beyond those headline varieties. The Wisconsin reverse, featuring a cow's head, cheese wheel, and ear of corn, places the cow's nostril prominently where strong westward spread on the curved contour creates a shelf-like doubled edge.
