2014 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-001

Description

As the first cataloged doubled die reverse for the 2014 Philadelphia Jefferson nickel, DDR-001 carries the distinction of being the earliest-identified DDR for this date in VarietyVista's registry. Medium spread to the south produces an extra right-side central doorway roof on Monticello, where the secondary image appears below the primary roofline of the portico entrance. Cataloged under UVC-1811 / DMR-002, die stage documentation records Early Die State (Stage A) for both reverse and obverse, Mid Die State (Stage B, unconfirmed), and Late Die State (Stage C, unconfirmed). Southward displacement on the Monticello facade shifts the secondary image downward, and the doorway roof — a horizontal architectural element — makes this directional shift particularly visible because the doubled line runs parallel to and slightly below the original. The DDR-001 catalog number indicates this was the first doubled die reverse confirmed for the date, though additional varieties may subsequently have been documented. Jefferson nickel collectors tracking Monticello doorway varieties will find DDR-001's southward roof doubling distinct from the eastward doorway frame doubling found on other dates.
