2016 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-005

Description

WDDR-005 for the 2016-P Roosevelt Dime is very similar in character to WDDR-001 but with the doubling set slightly higher — a distinction preserved in the reference record as the basis for independent attribution. Attributed by the Wexler Team, this clad-composition Roosevelt Dime carries doubling on reverse design elements consistent with the WDDR-001 family but positioned at a different vertical register on the die, reflecting a separate hubbing event or die orientation. The 2016-P Roosevelt Dime was struck in copper-nickel clad composition — 75% copper, 25% nickel bonded to a pure copper core — at the Philadelphia Mint under John R. Sinnock's design. The Roosevelt Dime has been struck continuously since 1946, and modern clad issues from the 2010s have generated a growing body of documented doubled die varieties as variety attributors have applied increasingly precise hubbing-event analysis to these coins. Collectors distinguishing WDDR-005 from the closely related WDDR-001 should verify the vertical placement of doubling on the affected reverse elements to confirm the correct attribution. Cross-reference: Wexler Variety ID: 2016-P 10¢ WDDR-005.
