2016-D Roosevelt DDR- Confirmed! WDDR-001, WDDR-002, WDDR-003A, WDDR-003B

Oh, OK.... I was being obtuse in interpretation of the idiom.

 

Yes, I sensed deviation from the forum argot; yet thought I'd be pointed with the specific provenance of discoveries!

Here is John Wexler's written summary on the 2016-D WDDR-001. His photo is far superior to what I was able to produce. Also, he noted die gouge between the "2" and "0" of date. Admittedly; I didn't know this, and learned something!

I'm sure people have already done this, but I looked through all the examples on Ebay and didn't see any. At least, the ones with good enough pictures.

I looked around on Ebay too, and pictures don't capture enough detail. If you're roll hunting for these; Loomis would probably be your best bet. They supplied the dimes to the bank where I acquired the DDR's. Good luck!

I bought 5 rolls of Loomis 2016Ds from the midwest. They just arrived. Wish me luck!

Good luck- hope you find one!

Interesting hunt: I haven't gone back to the North Clinton First Federal Bank in Defiance, Ohio where I found the 3 DDR's; but shifted my focus to the surrounding First Federal branches in Northwest Ohio looking for 2016-D's in hopes of tracking the distribution of these Roosevelt's, and finding a few more DDR's. Well, I did find $200 of 2016-D's in Napoleon, OH, and another $85 in Wauseon, OH. I searched these rolls- total of 2,850 2016-D's, and found no DDR's...I cleared out the Northwest Ohio branches of 2016-D's- except for the Defiance location so as to provide others a chance to find.

 

I did buy 10 rolls from the Ebay seller as previously mentioned, and found more DDR's; I bought 5 more rolls from same seller, and found 27 DDR's total out of 7 rolls searched! The seller on Ebay has more available rolls...last I looked - 4.

 

In regards to the DDR's; I've noticed 3 distinct types of doubling with the bands: Strong Doubling, Medium Doubling, and Faint Doubling South of Bands. I have pictures below to distinguish the Strong Doubling from the Faint Doubling South of Bands. The Medium Doubling is too hard to distinguish with my pictures against the Strong Doubling but there is a noticeable difference between those two. Would this be splitting hairs, or, should I send John Wexler the other two doubled band varieties?

 

Thanks,

 

Rich

Those look like different varieties to me. It is entirely possible that, in your thorough searching, you have discovered 2 more DDRs. Do these other ones have the die gouge at date that was identified with the first one?

 

I have noticed that often, when one type of doubling is seen for a date, there are several dies with the same type of doubling. It is likely a process failure at the mint, or an entire batch of dies were messed up, rather than a single fluke accident.

Jason, I haven't been able to match up the die gouge on the obverse that's on the Defiance DDR compared to the other Strong, Medium, and Faint Doubling South of Bands.

 

Interesting...probably should send out these 3 too?

 

Thanks,

 

Rich

Looks like you might be on a winning streak, dude. Can't wait to see what Wexler says.

[PocketArt]

Wow that's exciting! You pointed out the difference to the Defiance DDR Jason, so I'll make sure John Wexler is aware of your participation in this discovery if they are new DDR varieties.

 

Thanks!

Rich, being a super-awesome guy, sent me one. It came today!

[coinman1794]

There do appear to be at least two separate DDRs pictured in this thread.

I just received email today from John Wexler confirming three new varieties I sent him: WDDR-002, WDDR-003A, and WDDR-003B. I will be sure to post the links to these varieties once he updates his website.

 

I also have 8 unopened rolls of 2016-D's that contain the WDDR-002, 003A, 003B. I will be offering a giveaway for (1) unopened roll. This will be similar to the giveaway I've done before with the WDDR-001, posted both here and ATS. Please be sure to check back if you wish a chance to participate. I will post details for the giveaway in the next few days.

 

Thanks,

Hot damn, man. You are on a roll! Congrats!

 

What's the difference between 3A and 3B? I'm guessing they must be die states?

[PocketArt]

Thank you Jason!

 

Per John Wexler's email, he indicates the WDDR-003A as a new listing for his doubled die files. The WDDR-003B he indicates as a new stage listing for his doubled die files. That's all the info I have in email. So, perhaps you're right with different die states. We'll have to wait and see when he updates his website- should be soon.

I'll be posting the giveaway for (1) roll around 7pm EST. tomorrow for those who want to participate here and ATS. Will be in a separate thread. Should be good!

 

Thanks,
