1964 (D) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001 / DDR-001

Description

Documented by VarietyVista under UVC-455 and DMR-003 and cross-referenced as FS-801 (18.5) in the Cherrypickers' Guide, the 1964-D Roosevelt dime DDR-001, which Wexler numbers WDDR-001, shows medium spread on all the lettering around the rim. Wexler writes the Cherrypickers number as FS-10-1964D-801 (018.5). Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties describes a very strong Class I CCW spread on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DIME, the dots, E PLURIBUS UNUM, the flames, the outer leaves and both lower stems. It records no obverse markers at stage A; at stage B heavy scratches run SW from the lips and chin, and a short scratch heads south off the bust just left of the 1 of the date. At reverse stage A NE scratches leave the flame on its right side and a small gouge (dot) sits midway between the M of AMERICA and the upper right oak leaf. At reverse stage B a clash passes from the lower left olive leaf across the lower olive and the L of PLURIBUS, and a N/S scratch sits between the I and C of AMERICA and extends below them. L & C Coins submitted stage A and Joe Feld stage B. CONECA lists the die as 1-R-I. VarietyVista credits George Allegado with the report and lists the obverse as ODV-011 (Blunt 9). Stage A, an early die state, is unconfirmed. At stage B, a middle die state on both sides, a clash runs through the olive branch. At stage C both sides are in a late die state. At stage D, a very late die state on both sides, cracks run to the rim from the right side of the O of ONE and from the bottom of the right stem through the IM of DIME.
