2015 (P) Jefferson Nickel - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Shad Lundal discovered this 2015 Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickel doubled die reverse, cataloged as WDDR-001. The variety exhibits Class VIII Tilted Hub Doubling with close spread on the right side of the Monticello building and the designer's initials FS, Felix Schlag's monogram from the original 1938 design competition. Close spread indicates a subtle hub tilt during die impression, producing a secondary image near the primary that requires magnification to resolve against the architectural lines. Die markers include a die gouge above the NT of CENTS, a die dot above the left arch, and a die dot near the dome — three reverse diagnostics providing confident die identification. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID 2015-P WDDR-001, this variety holds the particular appeal that first-cataloged entries carry among specialists tracking the expanding variety population year by year.
