1964-D Doubled Die Reverse DDR-011

Description

Medium spread on ONE DIME and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA marks this 1964 Denver Mint Roosevelt Dime, notable for being associated with two distinct UVC/DMR die pairs that document an obverse die change during production. The first pairing, UVC-466, DMR-014, traces three stages: Stage A at EDS (unconfirmed); Stage B showing a light die crack from the right stem to the M of DIME at MDS, with the obverse at LDS. The second pairing, UVC-467, DMR-015, documents Stage C at LDS with a die crack extending from the right stem through the M of DIME to the rim, a die crack from the rim through the second T of STATES to the flame, and a changed obverse die now at MDS with a die crack from the head to the rim at approximately 12:30. The obverse is identified as ODV-011 (Blunt 9), referring to a distinctive digit style. The obverse die change mid-production is cataloged by VarietyVista, and the progression across two die pairings preserves a detailed record of how this reverse die was used across its full working life.
