2005 (P) Minnesota State Quarter - Doubled Die Reverse DDR-065

Description

2005-P MN DDR-065 is a doubled die reverse on the 2005-P Minnesota state quarter, cataloged by VarietyVista. The spread is medium, an extra tree tucked low and close to the right of the third tree. VarietyVista also gives it as 65-R-VIII. VarietyVista's chart numbers are UVC-1520 and DMR-068. At Stage A the reverse and the obverse are both in an early die state. At Stage B the reverse is in an early middle die state; a die crack crosses the front of the bust into the field (early middle), and another runs through the designer's initials. At Stage C the reverse is in a middle die state; a die chip has formed on the crack across the front of the bust, and another die chip sits in the upper part of the R in TRUST (middle die state). Stage D (late die state) is unconfirmed. Reported to VarietyVista by William Dorvall.
