1946 Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-008

Description

1946 WDDO-008 is a doubled die obverse on the 1946 Roosevelt dime, cataloged by the Wexler team. A Class V clockwise (CW) spread appears on IN GOD WE TRUST, the date, the designer's initials, the neck (back and bottom) and the lower back of the head. Obverse Stage A is Type I; a short horizontal scratch sits in the hair, over the top back of the forehead. On Obverse Stage B, a die crack runs south to the rim, starting at the lower bust's front point. On the reverse, in STATES, a scratch runs alongside the A's lower left leg, parallel to it, and another runs SE from the leaf stem over the R in PLURIBUS. Reverse Stage B adds SSW scratches between the upper and lower right oak leaves and a die clash along the whole left side of the olive leaves. John A. Wexler submitted Stage A and Joe Feld Stage B. Wexler lists no cross-references. Its comments note that Stage B was formerly listed as WDDO-038. Wexler includes it in its "Best Of" varieties.
