The date on the 2015P Roosevelt Dime

joeykoins

Has anybody else seen this strangeness on the date? I took a picture (If you can call it that!) of the "2", "0" and the "5". What do you guy's think? Sorry for bad Pics.

Tough call! May just have potential as DDO. Would need a better pic.

joeykoins

Yeah, I know, they are bad photos. For what it's worth, I have two of these Dimes. Exact in all numbers.

COINS MAKE CENTS

I'm caught between machine doubling and a real ddo I'm like right on the fence. The first picture looks like a triple die obverse

The thing is guys that to me, when I first took a glance on these with my Loupe, it looked more of a grease filled? Let me see If I can get a better shot.

Hey! I found something to explain this, maybe?
My exact dime, too.

I have a half dozen of these LDS Roosevelt's- your's looks like mine joeycoins. There is significant shadowing on the obverse. They are cool but fairly common.

Finally, somebody else with these strange Roosys. They are cool, aren't they? I first spotted in 2015, when they first came out. I was very excited at the time. How 'bout you? or did you know right away what they were?

PocketArt

I thought they were weird- I took some photo's of them last August / September so not the best but I'll post them. I was, like you, not knowing if they were a variety, or, just maybe some strange mushiness that didn't amount to much. I found quite a few and just kept the best. In correspondence with another member here, Stash, he indicated this was from Late Die as he found these too. They are cool- will they ever be worth a premium? IDK- Probably not.

joeykoins

Might as well hold on to them. No loss in keeping, right? One never knows?
One More Thing... Those pics, to me, are pretty good! Better than mine.

I noticed these too.
I had 2 that were so bad that the date was nearly gone and could be discerned only by tilting the coin at a certain angle.
Most of the motto and LIBERTY was also gone.
The reverse was just as bad, with USA shadowy and indistinct.
I think I sold them for about $3 each.

Interesting.... have these been noted as a known anomaly on this date/mm?? Cheers, RickO

The first photos posted show coins struck from worn or overused dies.

This has been a much more common occurrence on
dimes and Parks Quarters series in the past 5 years
or so.

Similar in appearance to many as either doubled dies,
double strikes, ejection/mechanical doubling etc........
but the cause is heavily used dies, imo.

Thanks Fred, for your expertise information, my friend.
