2020 VDDR VDDR-003

Description

Presenting as a strong westward spread creating an extra upper notched root on the reverse design, this third VarietyVista-designated doubled die reverse for a 2020 America the Beautiful Quarter captures die doubling on one of the program's final-year issues. The ATB quarter program ran from 2010 through 2021, and the 2020 entries represented the penultimate year of this ambitious fifty-six-park commemorative series. Cataloged by VarietyVista with die marker references UVC and DMR numbers still pending assignment (listed as UVC-???? and DMR-00?), the variety is documented at Stage A with both reverse and obverse in early die state, while Stages B and C remain unconfirmed. The pending UVC/DMR numbers indicate this variety was documented before full classification was completed, a common situation for recently discovered varieties awaiting final catalog integration. The westward spread creating an extra notched root shows meaningful hub displacement during die preparation, producing doubling strong enough to be visible under moderate magnification. The ATB quarter program featured five different national park and site designs annually, with each new reverse requiring fresh master hubs and working dies. The annual design rotation created abundant opportunities for doubling to occur during the hubbing process, and the program generated thousands of documented die varieties across its twelve-year run.
