Help!!!!! A "NEW" DOUBLE DIE?? 2000P dime reverse

baccalas · January 16, 2007 4:51PM

Has anyone seen this one before?
It's a 2000P Roosevelt dime with a double die on the reverse.
In the pic you can see the double U and the plant but it is also on the B.
I have other pics but are too big for here. I can send them if someone can help.
My email is collins_sheldon@yahoo.com.
I also have (2) of the 1972 dbl dies and a 1960 all lincolns

I don't think so. You usually need more than doubling of 1 letter or number to be considered a double die. Of course, that's just MY opinion, and, I HAVE been wrong on more than 1 occassion. Here's the photo for you. Ray

No idea- but you may find help at CONECA.
Interesting- looks like a double die to me. I will keep my eye open for another one.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one letter get doubled and none of the others? Seems crazy to me.

I thought dies prepared after 1997-1998 no longer required multiple strikes with the hub? (thus making doubled dies a thing of the past)

As I remember seeing, the master hub gets pressed into the die. The hub is conical. If the hub isn't seated quite right, I could imagine that the point of the cone comes in contact with the die then shifts to be seated properly. Therefore, the center would/could be doubled while the rest of the die might not be.

But what do I know....
