2022 VDDR VDDR-001

Description

A variety of particular numismatic significance, the 2022 Jefferson Nickel VDDR-001 is classified as a doubled working hub — meaning the doubling occurred not during the creation of an individual working die but during the manufacture of the working hub itself. Because working hubs are used to create multiple working dies, a doubled working hub produces the same doubling on every die derived from it, and VarietyVista confirms that multiple dies are known to exhibit this variety. The doubling manifests as a light spread northward, creating an extra floor line visible in both building arches on Felix Schlag's Monticello reverse. The UVC and DMR designations remain pending assignment (listed as UVC-???? and DMR-00?), indicating this variety was recently cataloged and awaiting full classification. Stage A confirms both reverse and obverse in early die state, while later stages are unconfirmed. Doubled working hub varieties are distinguished from standard doubled dies by their multi-die presence: when a collector finds one example, they know that identical doubling exists on coins struck from other dies made from the same hub, making the total population significantly larger than a single-die variety. The 2022 date from the Philadelphia Mint represents a modern example of this hub-level doubling phenomenon.
