2018 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

Four doubled die reverses documented for the 2018 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime continue the year-by-year accumulation of varieties that defines modern die variety collecting. WDDR-004 represents the final cataloged DDR for this year, a working die whose secondary hub impression landed at a slight offset from the first. The value of each addition to the catalog extends beyond the individual coin: collectively, the multi-year record of DDR frequencies provides data on die production consistency at the Philadelphia Mint over time. Researchers can compare the number of varieties per year against known mintage figures to approximate the rate at which hub misalignment occurs, offering insight into manufacturing tolerances. For the collector, each variety is an opportunity to locate and attribute a specific die, building a collection organized around the technical minutiae of coin production. The Roosevelt Dime's enduring reverse design ensures that the same examination techniques apply across all modern clad years. Cataloged by the Wexler Team as Wexler Variety ID 2018-P 10¢ WDDR-004.
