2015 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-014

Description

Assigned universal variety code UVC-2113 and die marriage record DMR-015 by VarietyVista, this 2015-P Homestead National Park quarter displays doubled die reverse characteristics with a light southwestward spread in window R3 and a westward spread also in window R3 of the cabin design. Three die stages trace the variety's arc. Stage A is in early die state with markers unconfirmed, and Stage B reaches mid-die state likewise unconfirmed. By Stage C in late die state, the reverse develops a depression above the upper right roof along with small die chips in both the upper right and upper left corn husks, and a small die chip on the middle of the lower bust. The doubling in the cabin windows provides the primary attribution point, while the progressive die deterioration markers at Stage C offer secondary confirmation. America the Beautiful quarter varieties from the Homestead issue are less widely collected than other designs in the series, meaning recognized varieties like DDR-014 appeal to specialists seeking underappreciated material with thorough die-stage documentation.
