2019 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-001

Description

Initiating the 2019 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime DDR catalog, WDDR-001 marks the first doubled die reverse documented for this production year. As the inaugural entry, it establishes that at least one working die from the 2019 run received a misaligned hub impression significant enough for the Wexler Team to attribute. The Roosevelt Dime entered its seventy-third year of continuous production in 2019, with Sinnock's original reverse design still in service — a remarkable span of design continuity in American coinage. Each new production year brings fresh opportunities for die variety discovery, as new batches of working dies are manufactured and placed into service at the Philadelphia Mint. Collectors who acquire 2019-dated dimes from rolls or circulation can examine the reverse for doubling on the torch, branches, and lettering, comparing their findings against the published WDDR characteristics. The Wexler Team assigned this variety Wexler Variety ID 2019-P 10¢ WDDR-001.
