2019 (P) Roosevelt Dime - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-003

Description

Rounding out the documented 2019 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt Dime DDR varieties, WDDR-003 is the third and final cataloged doubled die reverse for this year. Three varieties represent a typical modern yield — enough to confirm that hub misalignment continues to occur in current production, while falling well short of exceptional years like 2016 with its twenty-two entries. The ongoing discovery of doubled dies year after year validates the die variety collecting discipline and demonstrates that technological advances in die production have reduced but not eliminated misalignment during the hubbing process. For collectors, each new variety is both an individual find and a data point in the larger story of American coin manufacturing. The Roosevelt Dime, approaching its eightieth year, continues to provide this material, its unchanged reverse design serving as a consistent baseline against which doubling can be identified and cataloged. The Wexler Team documented this final 2019 entry under Wexler Variety ID 2019-P 10¢ WDDR-003.
