Found in a mint set and does not appear to be one of the 3 at Variety Vista. Please have a look and advise - thank you

The area around the D, is there some damage around the "D". Is there damage where the lower split bands are on the torch? On the reverse photo it almost looks like it is damage, with some of the D sheered away, maybe a piece out of place?
Not sure what is at the bottom of the torch...

The close up of the D, to the top left appears to be damage. the bottom center appears to be sheered in the close up.

Not too sure what is going on with that nearly vertical line between the serifs, unless it is from some sort of sheering?

If that vertical line was a separation of the "D" vertical bars, one would think that the curve of the "D" would show some thickness as well, and it does not.

I am hesitant to call this an RPM. Please wait for others to chime in that may be better versed on Dime varieties.

Hello Gary- Thanks for your response- two things- I have a digital microscope which is good for most hunting but pixelated for photo sharing like this. Also the coin is in a mint set and is still in cello so I removed it and retook a photo- looks like I have a split that I missed. No serious damage - the mint mark looks a bit distorted but probably mostly the repunch? Var. Vistas photos are too shaded on the west side of the mintmark for me to say its one of them. 8AE727FF-3BE5-4BF7-BB62-CE7FF8ECE5EF.png

Looks much better ! Good job.

OK, I agree Variety Vista may have some photos that aren't the best but it helps to know that there are possibilities in that year.

I went to NGC https://ngccoin.com and I went under resources and clicked on VARIETYPLUS. Under there you have to drill down until you get to the coin type, and then scroll though the years to see what they "recognize" as a variety.

I'll provide a link to the dimes....

The only one I see for 1963D is this one:

PCGS might have some others....
On PCGS you need to go to the "PRICE Guide"
go to the Roosevelt Dimes....
Then scroll down to the 1963-D year.
when you find the year (1963-D) look to the left of the date.
See that "+" sign? click on the plus sign and it will drop down a menu of varieties that PCGS recognizes for that year/mintmark.
why do they hide them like that?! I have NO idea.

The only other "reference" for Roosevelt dimes that I was able to find is here - but it looks the same as the NGC photo, and only one...

Again, it might have the look of a RPM, but I am hesitant to make that call because the mintmark is pretty thin.
Is that a slightly split serif to the top left?

Bob P might wander in here and advise you what to do with the coin.

Don't fret due to my hesitation. It has hope since you can see the vertical bar separation and the potential lower part of the curve with some separation.
BUT, since I cannot seem to find a match, I personally tend to lean toward the "no" side of the house.

Could it be a new or existing RPM....absolutely.
Others will chime in.

Thanks for the PCGS cheat- I will check that out- I thought I could only hit the varieties link. I saw the NGC link- That one looks like its a South w lots of separation and I think my D position is just a bit higher slightly to that lower feature of torch- and my die scratches look vertical- the NGC horizontal? but I hope others do check this out- Thank you sir- hoping it is a new one
