2005 (P) Minnesota State Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse DDR-039

Description

2005-P MN DDR-039 is a doubled die reverse on the 2005-P Minnesota state quarter, cataloged by VarietyVista. Its strong spread lies on the two uppermost relief points at the top of the rock, in the space between the rock and the third tree. VarietyVista also gives it as 39-R-VIII; its chart numbers are UVC-1493 and DMR-041. On Stage A the reverse and the obverse are both in an early die state (EDS). On Stage B the reverse is in an early middle die state (EMDS), and a die crack runs from the front of the bust out into the field, also EMDS. Stage C has three die cracks: one from the upper left of the outline to the rim, in a middle die state (MDS); one starting at the duck's back and crossing the marsh to reach the rim; and one from the bust to the Q of QUARTER, also MDS. Stage D, the late die state, is unconfirmed. Reported to VarietyVista by Todd Ayers.
