2012 (P) Jefferson Nickel - Doubled Die Reverse DDR-006

Description

For the 2012-P Jefferson Nickel, DDR-006 presents a medium spread to the south producing an extra central doorway roof on Monticello — a diagnostic closely related to varieties found on other recent Jefferson Nickel dates. Die markers include UVC-1816 and DMR-007. Three die stages have been documented: Stage A with both reverse and obverse in early die state; Stage B at mid-die state (unconfirmed); and Stage C in late die state (unconfirmed). The confirmed early die state at Stage A offers the sharpest definition of the doubled doorway roof before progressive die wear can reduce its visibility. Monticello's central portico, with its prominent triangular pediment and horizontal entablature, is a reliable area for detecting southward hub doubling on Jefferson Nickels. The 2012-P issue continued the return-to-Monticello reverse that resumed in 2006, and the extra doorway roof serves as an accessible entry point for collectors learning to identify doubled die varieties on modern coinage.
