2019 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-002

Description

A second doubled die reverse for the 2019 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime, WDDR-002 confirms that multiple working dies from this production year exhibited hub misalignment during their manufacture. The existence of multiple DDR varieties from the same year is not unusual — it is the expected outcome of high-volume production that requires many working dies, each independently subject to the mechanical variables of the hubbing process. What varies from year to year is the number of varieties discovered, which depends on both the actual rate of misalignment and the intensity of collector examination. The Roosevelt Dime's familiar reverse design — torch, olive branch, oak branch, and inscriptions — remains the standard reference framework for locating and characterizing doubling. Attributors note the specific design elements affected, the direction and magnitude of displacement, and any die markers that help identify the particular working die. This variety was attributed by the Wexler Team and recorded as Wexler Variety ID 2019-P 10¢ WDDR-002.
