2015 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-024

Description

Localized to a single architectural feature on the Homestead National Park Quarter reverse, DDR-024 on the 2015-P issue presents light spread in a north-and-east direction within Window L2 — the second window from the left on the cabin depicted in the design. The Homestead National Park Quarter features the Palmer-Epard cabin, a restored frontier dwelling representing the homesteading experience in Beatrice, Nebraska, where the Homestead Act of 1862 first took effect. Window L2 sits on the left side of the cabin facade, and the north-and-east displacement creates a subtle shadow or doubling along the window frame edges that distinguishes this die from its companion DDR-025, which affects a different window on the opposite side of the structure. Cataloged as UVC-2123 with DMR-025, this variety has been documented in the VarietyVista census as part of the America the Beautiful series. The tight localization of the doubling to a single window rewards focused examination with magnification centered precisely on the left side of the cabin. Attributed by VarietyVista.
