1957 ROOSEVELT PROOF POSSIBLE DDO-002?

[rbroederer]

I am looking at a 1957 Roosevelt proof dime. I am seeing light extra thickness on designer's initials, and date. The pictures are very similar to DDO-002 on VV.
Thoughts or comments?

Extra thickness is not always an indicator of a doubled die. The most common cause of extra thickness is die wear.

If you read the definition of a Class 6 doubled die, it does have extra thickness, but also some distention or twisting of the letters in places. For light extra thickness, this is very subtle. If I were trying to attribute your coin, I would not call it a doubled die.

Hello Bob, Thanks for the heads up. Cheers, Bruce.
