2015 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Modern die variety collecting depends on systematic documentation — the careful recording of every identifiable doubled die, repunched mint mark, and die crack across the full range of U.S. denominations. WDDR-004 for the 2015 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime exemplifies this approach. Each doubled die reverse is assigned a sequential Wexler number that places it within the broader catalog for its year and denomination, enabling collectors to reference, verify, and trade specimens with confidence. The doubled die reverse classification means the working die received a secondary hub impression at a slight offset, creating permanent doubling that transferred to every coin struck from that die during its production life. Roosevelt Dimes from 2015, struck on clad planchets at the Philadelphia Mint, were produced in quantities sufficient to require dozens of working dies, and the probability of hub misalignment on at least some of those dies is well understood. Variety specialists examine the torch, branches, and lettering for displacement evidence. Cataloged by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID 2015-P 10¢ WDDR-004.
