2019 (P) Jefferson Nickel - Doubled Die Reverse VDDR-007

Description

Cataloged by VarietyVista with die markers UVC-1876 and DMR-007, VDDR-007 on the 2019 Jefferson Nickel presents medium spread directed Southeast, producing an extra central doorway roof, left edge, and bottom of window on the Monticello building. The southeast directional spread indicates the secondary hub impression shifted both downward and to the right relative to the primary impression, creating displacement on the architectural elements of the upper central facade. Three die stages document this working die's service life: Stage A is early die state (EDS, unconfirmed), Stage B shows the reverse in early-to-mid die state (EMDS) with a die gouge on the left side of the chin also at EMDS, and Stage C is late die state (LDS, unconfirmed). Unlike many other 2019 VDDR varieties that carry provisional UVC and DMR designations (marked with question marks), VDDR-007 has confirmed identifiers — UVC-1876 and DMR-007 — indicating this variety has been fully documented and verified within the VarietyVista catalog system. The medium spread affecting three distinct architectural elements — the doorway roof, the left edge, and the window bottom — demonstrates a hub displacement magnitude sufficient to create detectable doubling across multiple design zones of the Monticello facade. The 2019 Jefferson Nickel was struck at the Philadelphia Mint in copper-nickel composition (75% copper, 25% nickel, 5.000 grams, 21.2 mm). The Stage B die gouge on the left side of the chin on the obverse offers a useful cross-die confirmation marker for attribution of this reverse variety.
