SHD-10c-2007P-07 Shattered Die
Error
Description
The seventh shattered die documented for the 2007-P Roosevelt Dime, SHD-10c-2007P-07 deepens the pattern of die failures that distinguishes this date-mint in the modern dime series. Together with SHD-10c-2007P-06 and five other cataloged entries, it paints a picture of a production environment where multiple die pairs reached terminal failure rather than being pulled from service earlier. Shattered dies progress through a predictable sequence — initial crack, secondary branching, crack intersection, and full-surface fragmentation — and seven dies completing this progression before removal suggests intermediate-stage dies were tolerated during 2007 Philadelphia dime production. Each shattered die produces a unique web of raised lines on the coins it strikes, and attribution requires matching the specific crack network to known die photographs. Collectors seeking shattered die varieties can often locate them in original bank-wrapped rolls, as the unusual appearance was not always noticed during routine banking. Philadelphia Mint production. Cataloged and verified by Cuds on Coins.
