1946 Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-011

Description

1946 WDDO-011 is a doubled die obverse on the 1946 Roosevelt dime, cataloged by the Wexler team. A Class V clockwise (CW) spread from a pivot near 2:00 shows on LIBERTY. Wexler adds that the 'doubling' on the date, the designer's initials and IN GOD WE TRUST looks to be the result of dual hubbing with the doubled working hub, giving tripling or even quadrupling. The obverse is Type I. A large cluster of small gouges (dots) covers the region between the eye and the ear. The date's 1 and 9 are joined at their tops by an ENE/WSW scratch, and a scratch heads NNW off the lower lip. On the reverse, the E in STATES has a large die chip sitting on top of its center bar, and a light scratch runs NE from the torch holder's upper band to the upper left oak leaf. Joe Feld submitted the variety. Wexler lists no cross-references. Its comments say it was formerly WDDO-035 and was renumbered when the doubled obverse working hub was found and left large gaps in the listings.
