Double struck or Broadstruck Roosevelt?

These are the best pictures I have of this 2004-D Roosevelt dime. Hopefully they are good enough for someone to make a determination of what mint error it is. I believe the coin could have been struck twice due to it having a proof like quality and there are two different rims from K-3 to K-5 (when looking at the obverse). The coin also appears to have full bands on the reverse. What do you think?

So my amateurish guess is double struck and no full bands. I'm just guessing, so take my response with a grain of salt. Lol

No guess but interesting error.
From past threads, FBs, FSs, etc. are common on many error coins. It has to do with the displaced pressure.
In any case, I don't think those designations carry much weight with error collectors.
It is a little tough to tell from your photos but I would call that an uncentered broadstrike. The full bands are not unusual as the lack of a collar means the dies can come a little closer together; the planchet is not offering as much resistance to vertical movement as the metal moves horizontally out from between them.

I would call this an uncentered broad strike also – very common for that date-, 05-D’S, 07-D’s
and a few other years from Denver, especially.
Questions for the OP:
Do broadstruck coins have reeding?
Does your coin have reeding?
What conclusions can you draw from the previous two answers?
