2016 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-022

Description

Closing the 2016 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime DDR catalog at twenty-two varieties, WDDR-022 caps what stands as one of the most productive single-year catalogs in modern dime variety collecting. The progression from WDDR-001 through WDDR-022 represents the cumulative work of attributors who examined thousands of specimens from the 2016 production run, identifying and documenting each unique doubled die along the way. This final entry completes the year's record, though additional varieties could theoretically be discovered in the future as more 2016 dimes are examined. Doubled die reverses remain among the most popular categories in die variety collecting because they represent genuine manufacturing anomalies — permanent features of the die itself — rather than post-production damage. On the Roosevelt Dime, the reverse torch and surrounding design elements carry the evidence of each variety's unique hub misalignment. The Wexler Team concluded the 2016 DDR sequence with this variety, assigned Wexler Variety ID 2016-P 10¢ WDDR-022.
