1964 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-011

Description

Cataloged by VarietyVista as UVC-445 with die marker reference DMR-020, this 1964 proof Roosevelt Dime exhibits a light spread on AMERICA, IME of DIME, and the M of UNUM on the reverse. This is a combination variety paired with ODV-011, which features a blunt 9 in the date — collectors seeking complete attribution must examine both sides to confirm the die marriage. Three die stages documented: Stage A in Early Die State (unconfirmed), Stage B with the reverse in Mid Die State showing die scratches running north-south on the obverse along with a light die crack running northeast on the forehead, and Stage C in Late Die State (unconfirmed). The obverse carries the distinctive blunt 9 diagnostic of ODV-011. As the final year of silver proof dime production before the composition change, 1964 proof Roosevelt Dime varieties hold particular significance in the series. Philadelphia Mint, 90% silver, proof strike. Combination doubled die pairs where both obverse and reverse carry cataloged anomalies from the same die marriage provide collectors with a more complete attribution story, linking the specific dies used together in production.
