1964 (D) Roosevelt Dime - Repunched Mintmark RPM-003

Description

Roosevelt Dimes struck before 1965 are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, and 1964 was the final year of that composition before the Coinage Act of 1965 mandated the clad sandwich alloy. The 1964-D RPM-003 thus falls in the last silver dime issue — a distinction that heightens its collectibility among variety hunters. VarietyVista tracks this variety under UVC-480 and DMR-028, and it cross-references to FS-501 in the Cherrypickers' Guide. The mintmark displacement is D/D Northeast, placing the secondary ghost impression southwest of the primary D. Additionally, this variety carries the ODV-010 designation, identifying a Pointed 9 obverse die — a diagnostic for the specific hub or logotype used to cut the date into this working die. Three die stages are recorded in basic notation without detailed marker descriptions.
