1968 S Proof Roosevelt dime DDO

[Rene D]

Really do not see a match to this ddo dime. Searched Coneca and Wexlers data base and nothing matches up. Is it a double die?

In my opinion, there appears to be letters on the coin that appear lower and step like. It looks like a form of machine damage, or worthless doubling.

Proof coins are typically struck more than once so they get that wow factor. Some times the other strikes can be slightly off and it can be enough to notice, especially on higher magnification. Some times the minting presses have something go wrong and that hiccup can cause some issues with coins being struck.


Let me try to get Eric eaxtellcoin to come in here and offer his expert opinion as well.

Yes, I would appreciate any opinion from anyone. I have to say that looking at these images I posted are slightly different than the pics in my camera. For some reason the frosted letters and date did not show up frosted as in my camera , something is going on when I transfer the pics from my camera. The doubling is just as frosted and imo are not step like by the camera, only after they were transferred. I can try and bring the lighting up and repost.

A bit closer and brighter. See if this helps
