Reverse: A small die gouge can be found north of the first U in PLURIBUS. A circular die scratch pattern is most easily seen on the left half of the reverse.

Attribution History

• Discovered by David Mulberry Cross References: 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.
