1984-P Roosevelt Dime — Possible DDO and DDR — Unlisted?

[Parth]

Found this 1984-P Roosevelt dime while coin roll hunting. Seeing what appears to be doubled die characteristics on both the obverse and reverse.

Obverse:

• IN GOD WE TRUST lettering appears distorted/thickened
• 1984 date digits show spread/distortion
• LIBERTY shows fattened upper portions of letters, with the thickening consistent in direction across multiple letters
• Prominent die crack running across the obverse (useful die marker)

Reverse:

• E PLURIBUS UNUM shows thickened lettering, particularly on UNUM
• OF in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA shows a clear secondary image on the F crossbar
• UNITED STATES lettering also appears thickened

I checked Wexler's doubled die listings and there is no 1984-P Roosevelt dime page listed at all. Wexler's dime attributions are currently paused indefinitely, so I'm posting here for the community's evaluation.

Photos attached. Would appreciate any opinions on whether this is hub doubling or worthless doubling. Thank you.

Forum crashed again. Got lucky and copied text before it froze....

In my opinion, the obverse of this coin was struck by a working die which was probably in the later stages of the working dies service life.

It looks like the area of IGWT is suffering from die deterioration, simply put a well worn working die. Its a metal versus metal battle and eventually these working dies do get old and eventually fail or get replaced. I dont have numbers for dimes, but I believeca working die for modern dimes can probably strike close to 500,000 or more coins before being retired from service.

You can research which coins actually have documented doubled dies and repunched mint marks on the following websites:

Http://varietyvista.com

Https://conecaonline.info

Https://doubleddie.com

I believe that most varieties are usually found and documented within the first few years.

It is important to read the description as it will tell you where the doubling is or what direction the RPM is. All of these varieties were struck into metal working dies, so where the attributors show the doubling or RPM is located is where your example should show up.

Those areas do not move. As for RPMs, the mint mark prior to 1990 were hand struck into each working die that needed a mint mark. So, each one has a slightly different location. You can see the wide assortment of mintmark locations for example, on varietyvista, under the 1960-D Lincoln cents.

Happy hunting.
