2013-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

Second doubled die reverse documented for the 2013 Denver Mint Roosevelt Dime, WDDR-002 follows the initial WDDR-001 discovery and is attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID: 2013-D 10¢ WDDR-002. Two cataloged DDRs for a single date and mint indicates that multiple working dies received misaligned hub impressions during die production — not an uncommon occurrence given the number of dies manufactured annually. Collectors seeking Roosevelt Dime doubled dies should examine specimens under at least 10x magnification, paying close attention to the torch area, the horizontal bands within the torch handle, the tips of the olive and oak branches, and the serifs of the ONE DIME lettering. Comparing a suspected variety against known attribution photographs from the Wexler catalog remains the most reliable method for confirming a match, since multiple DDRs from the same date can show superficially similar but diagnostically distinct doubling patterns. Grading considerations for DDR Roosevelt Dimes follow standard practices, though specimens with minimal wear preserve the doubling with greater clarity.
