1964 Proof Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Obverse DDO-004

Description

Fourth documented doubled die obverse for the 1964 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Silver Dime, DDO-004 shows a light spread on IN GOD WE TRUST, the designer's initials positioned side by side, and the date. Cataloged by VarietyVista with die stage and marker data coded as UVC-433 and DMR-008, this variety has been traced through multiple die stages: Stage A appears in early die state (unconfirmed), Stage B shows the obverse at mid-die state with the reverse listed as DDR-005 also at mid-die state, and Stage C represents late die state (unconfirmed). The pairing of this obverse die with DDR-005 on the reverse means collectors can potentially find coins exhibiting doubled die characteristics on both sides — a combined DDO/DDR that carries premium value in the die variety market. The obverse die variety is classified as ODV-010, identified by its pointed 9 in the date. The 1964 Roosevelt Dime holds special significance as the final year of 90% silver composition for circulation-strike dimes — the Coinage Act of 1965 eliminated silver from dimes beginning the following year, making 1964 the terminal date for the Roosevelt Silver Dime series. Cataloged by VarietyVista, DDO-004 rewards collectors who examine the motto and date areas carefully under magnification.
