2016 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-009

Description

Cataloging die varieties in modern coinage requires a collaborative network of attributors, collectors, and reference organizations who share discoveries, verify attributions, and maintain public records. The Wexler Team's documentation of WDDR-009 for the 2016 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime exemplifies this collaborative infrastructure. When an attributor encounters a dime whose reverse shows doubling that does not match any previously recorded variety, the specimen is examined, photographed, and compared against existing catalog entries. If it represents a new die, it receives the next sequential WDDR number for that year and denomination. The doubled die reverse classification confirms that the doubling originated during die manufacture rather than during the striking process, making it a true die variety rather than a striking anomaly. Roosevelt Dime collectors can use the Wexler catalog number to identify, verify, and reference their own specimens. Recorded under Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 10¢ WDDR-009.
