2016 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-016

Description

The olive branch on the Roosevelt Dime reverse, positioned to the left of the central torch, represents peace — one of the three virtues encoded in Sinnock's tripartite reverse composition. Its smooth, curved leaves and small berries provide subtle detail where hub doubling can appear as faint secondary contours visible under magnification. WDDR-016 for the 2016 Philadelphia Mint is one of many varieties where this area may show evidence of the die's offset secondary impression. Doubled die collecting on Roosevelt Dimes gained momentum in the late 20th century as attributors developed the systematic examination techniques and reference networks needed to identify varieties on such a small denomination. Today, the Wexler reference system provides a standardized framework for cataloging and cross-referencing discoveries. The 2016 year's extensive DDR catalog makes it a notable vintage for Roosevelt Dime variety enthusiasts. This variety was documented under Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 10¢ WDDR-016.
