2016 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-017

Description

Seventeenth in the 2016 Philadelphia Mint DDR sequence, this Roosevelt Dime variety continues a remarkably deep catalog for the year. The process by which doubled dies enter circulation begins in the die shop and ends only when the affected die wears out or is retired, meaning that every coin struck from a doubled die during its operational life carries identical doubling. Estimates suggest that a single Roosevelt Dime working die can produce hundreds of thousands of coins before retirement, so each cataloged DDR variety potentially exists on a substantial number of specimens circulating in pocket change or sitting in bank-wrapped rolls. Collectors who search rolls systematically — a practice known as roll searching or coin roll hunting — have the best chance of encountering these varieties, though identifying them requires familiarity with the specific doubling characteristics documented for each WDDR number. The Wexler Team attributed this variety and assigned it Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 10¢ WDDR-017 for reference.
