Description
Fourth documented doubled die reverse for the 2017 America the Beautiful Quarter, this VarietyVista variety shows medium spread appearing as an extra upper trunk on the large left tree in the reverse design. The die markers carry provisional designations of UVC-???? and DMR-00?, indicating that final catalog numbers had not been assigned at the time of documentation — a common status for recently discovered varieties awaiting full verification. Three die stages have been recorded: Stage A shows the reverse in early die state transitioning to late die state, Stage B in mid-die state remains unconfirmed, and Stage C in late die state is also unconfirmed. The 2017 America the Beautiful quarters featured five national park and monument designs, and the specific tree element exhibiting the doubled trunk belongs to one of these reverse compositions. Doubled die reverses form during the hubbing process when the working die receives multiple impressions from the hub with slight misalignment between strikes, causing design elements to appear duplicated. The medium spread classification indicates visible separation between the primary and secondary images without the need for extreme magnification, placing this variety in a collectible range of doubling strength.
