2015 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-016

Description

With sixteen doubled die reverses attributed for the 2015 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime, the year stands as a productive one for variety discovery. Each variety represents a unique working die whose hub impression was offset during manufacture, and the sequential numbering system allows collectors to track exactly how many distinct dies have been documented. WDDR-016 closes out the 2015 Philadelphia DDR catalog as the highest-numbered variety for that year and mint. The cumulative documentation of these varieties serves a dual purpose: it provides collectors with attribution references for specimens they encounter, and it contributes to a broader understanding of die production quality and variation at the Philadelphia Mint during this period. Doubled dies are a manufacturing artifact inherent to the hubbing process, not a quality failure, and their study offers insight into the mechanical tolerances of modern coinage production. The Wexler Team assigned this variety Wexler Variety ID 2015-P 10¢ WDDR-016.
