2020 VDDR VDDR-012

Description

Cataloged by VarietyVista as VDDR-012 for the 2020 Philadelphia Jefferson Nickel, this doubled die reverse shows extra strong spread to the south visible as an extra triangle at the bottom and top roof of the central doorway on the left doorframe of Monticello. The doorway area of Felix Schlag's Monticello reverse — with its geometric pediment, columns, and framing — is particularly responsive to hub misalignment during die production, and the triangular roofline element becomes a clear marker of displacement when it appears doubled. The spread direction to the south means the extra image sits below the primary design element. Documented in Stage A early die state, with Stage B and Stage C remaining unconfirmed, this variety has preliminary catalog codes as the UVC and DMR numbers await final assignment. The 2020 Philadelphia nickel was struck in copper-nickel composition during the modern Monticello era. The extra strong characterization — VarietyVista's highest intensity descriptor — indicates this is one of the more visually prominent doubled die reverses for this date, making it a rewarding find for Jefferson Nickel variety specialists.
