1951 Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

1951 WDDO-001 is a doubled die obverse on the 1951 Roosevelt dime, cataloged by the Wexler team. The lips and lower nose show a minor eastward spread. Wexler records no significant obverse markers. On the reverse, a light WSW/ENE scratch runs below the E in STATES, and several SW/NE scratches cross the E of E PLURIBUS UNUM. Mark W. Joyner submitted the variety. Wexler lists no cross-references. The entry's comments note that Wexler has delisted many 'hot lips' Roosevelt dimes as abrasion doubling, but that this and the other 1951 listing are much slighter and look subtly different, closer to the hub doubling Wexler recorded on the 1955 doubled master die. The commenter would like to examine an example in hand before deciding on them.

• None known Comments: Many of the "hot lips" Roosevelt dimes have been delisted as abrasion doubling. Though the two 1951 examples here are much slighter and appear subtly different (more like the hub doubling recorded on the 1955 doubled master die). I'd like to see an example of these in-hand to make a determination on them.; Wexler Variety ID: 1951 10¢ WDDO-001
