2005 (P) Minnesota State Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse DDR-036

Description

2005-P MN DDR-036 is a doubled die reverse on the 2005-P Minnesota state quarter, cataloged by VarietyVista. The spread is strong, but the doubling is very light, on the lower branch right of the primary tree. VarietyVista also gives it as 36-R-VIII; its chart numbers are UVC-1490 and DMR-038. Stage A, the early die state (EDS), is unconfirmed. On Stage B, a die scratch heads north from the third tree up to the state and a large die break shows in the upper ribbon, both in a middle die state (MDS). Stage B also has a depression in the field under the designer's initials and a die crack across the base of the bust. On Stage C, a light die crack runs northwest from the upper left of the outline to the rim, and a pair of depressions sits below the designer's initials, both in a late middle die state (LMDS); there is also a die chip between the upper parts of the TR in TRUST. Stage D, the late die state, is unconfirmed. Reported to VarietyVista by Bob Piazza.
