1948-S Doubled Die Obverse DDO-001
Error
Description
Primary DDO for the 1948 San Francisco Roosevelt Silver Dime, showing medium extra thickness on LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, designer's initials JS, and the date. Die tracking: UVC-0775, DMR-010. Stage A: EDS (unconfirmed). Stage B: MDS (unconfirmed). Stage C: obverse and reverse are LDS. The confirmed LDS at Stage C means early-state specimens are harder to locate. San Francisco struck approximately 35.52 million dimes in 1948, all in 90% silver composition that continued until the 1965 Coinage Act. Cataloged by VarietyVista. Sinnock's Roosevelt portrait, introduced in 1946, was only two years into production at this date.
